Abstract

We consider a magnetic flow without conjugate points on a closed manifold MM with generating vector field \G\G. Let hC(M)h\in C^{\infty}(M) and let θ\theta be a smooth 1-form on MM. We show that the cohomological equation \G(u)=hπ+θ\G(u)=h\circ \pi+\theta has a solution uC(SM)u\in C^{\infty}(SM) only if h=0h=0 and θ\theta is closed. This result was proved in \cite{DP2} under the assumption that the flow of \G\G is Anosov.
