Abstract

We prove that all the Tonelli Hamiltonians defined on the cotangent bundle T\TnT^*\T^n of the nn-dimensional torus that have no conjugate points are C0C^0 integrable, i.e. T\TnT^*\T^n is C0C^0 foliated by a family \Fc\Fc of invariant C0C^0 Lagrangian graphs. Assuming that the Hamiltonian is CC^\infty, we prove that there exists a GδG_\delta subset \Gc\Gc of \Fc\Fc such that the dynamics restricted to every element of \Gc\Gc is strictly ergodic. Moreover, we prove that the Lyapunov exponents of every C0C^0 integrable Tonelli Hamiltonian are zero and deduce that the metric and topological entropies vanish.
