In this paper the magnetic geodesic flow on a 2-torus is considered. We study a semi-hamiltonian quasi-linear PDEs which is equivalent to the existence of polynomial in momenta first integral of magnetic geodesic flow on fixed energy level.…
In this paper we study the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on negatively curved geometrically finite manifolds. We prove that the measure theoretic entropy is upper semicontinuous when there is no loss of mass. In case we are losing…
Relying on the method of spinorial geometry, purely bosonic supersymmetric solutions in N=2, five-dimensional supergravity theories coupled to vector multiplets in all space-time signatures are found. Explicit examples of some new solutions…
We study Riemannian metrics on 2-surfaces with integrable geodesic flows such that an additional first integral is high-degree polynomial in momenta. This problem reduces to searching for solutions to certain quasi-linear systems of PDEs…

We derive the 2-component Camassa-Holm equation and corresponding N=1 super generalization as geodesic flows with respect to the $H^1$ metric on the extended Bott-Virasoro and superconformal groups, respectively.
We compare self-joining- and embeddability properties. In particular, we prove that a measure preserving flow $(T_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ with $T_1$ ergodic is 2-fold quasi-simple (2-fold distally simple) if and only if $T_1$ is 2-fold…
We construct a category of examples of partially hyperbolic geodesic flows which are not Anosov, deforming the metric of a compact locally symmetric space of nonconstant negative curvature. Candidates for such example as the product metric…
A Killing tensor field on a Riemannian space corresponds to an integral of the geodesic flow polynomial in momenta. A Killing tensor field is called decomposable if it is a polynomial in Killing vector fields. In this paper, we first prove…
We study the geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points and genus greater than one and continuous Green bundles. Identifying each strip of bi-asymptotic geodesics induces an equivalence relation on the unit tangent bundle.…
We construct the hyperbolic plane with its geodesic flow as the scale plus symmetry reduction of a three-body problem in the Euclidean plane. The potential is $-I/\Delta^2$ where $I$ is the triangle's moment of inertia and $\Delta$ its…
In this article we write the equations of barotropic compressible fluid mechanics as a geodesic equation on an infinite-dimensional manifold. The equations are given by \begin{align} u_t + \nabla_uu = -\frac{1}{\rho} \grad p \\ \rho_t +…
We classify parallel and totally geodesic hypersurfaces of the relevant class of G\"odel-type spacetimes, with particular regard to the homogeneous examples.
The space of $2$-jets of a real function of two real variables, denoted by $J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R})$, admits the structure of a metabelian Carnot group, so $J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R})$ has a normal abelian sub-group $\mathbb{A}$. As…
We review a recently introduced set of N-dimensional quasi-maximally superintegrable Hamiltonian systems describing geodesic motions, that can be used to generate "dynamically" a large family of curved spaces. From an algebraic viewpoint,…
Herein we shall argue for the utility of "spacetime geodesy", a point of view where one delays as long as possible worrying about dynamical equations, in favour of the maximal utilization of both symmetries and geometrical features. This…
Using systematically isothermal coordinates we show that there exist three different maximal extensions of the original Einstein-Rosen bridge. One of them, the hyperbolic Einstein-Rosen bridge, has two-dimensional sections diffeomorphic to…
We establish kinetic Hamiltonian flows in density space embedded with the $L^2$-Wasserstein metric tensor. We derive the Euler-Lagrange equation in density space, which introduces the associated Hamiltonian flows. We demonstrate that many…
The spherically symmetric, static spacetime generated by a crossflow of non-interacting radiation streams, treated in the geometrical optics limit (null dust) is equivalent to an anisotropic fluid forming a radiation atmosphere of a star.…
The problem of the existence of an additional (independent on the energy) first integral, of a geodesic (or magnetic geodesic) flow, which is polynomial in momenta is studied. The relation of this problem to the existence of nontrivial…
