Resorting to classical techniques of Riemannian geometry we develop a geometrical method suitable to investigate the nonintegrability of geodesic flows and of natural Hamiltonian systems. Then we apply such method to the Anisotropic Kepler…

For each natural number n, we construct an example of a graph manifold supporting at least n different Anosov flows that are not orbit equivalent. Our construction is reminiscent of the Thurston-Handel construction: we cut a geodesic flow…

We consider a continuous path of bounded symmetric Fredholm bilinear forms with arbitrary endpoints on a real Hilbert space, and we prove a formula that gives the spectral flow of the path in terms of the spectral flow of the restriction to…

In this paper we prove that if the geodesic flow of a {compact or non-compact} complete manifold without conjugate points is of the Anosov type, then the average of the integral of the sectional curvature along the geodesic is negative and…

Manifolds discovered by machine learning models provide a compact representation of the underlying data. Geodesics on these manifolds define locally length-minimising curves and provide a notion of distance, which are key for reduced-order…

We describe the complex poles of the power spectrum of correlations for the geodesic flow on compact hyperbolic manifolds in terms of eigenvalues of the Laplacian acting on certain natural tensor bundles. These poles are a special case of…

We show that the action on its orbit space induced by a pseudo-Anosov flow on a closed $3$-manifold (and more general Anosov-like actions) can be seen as an isometric action on a Gromov-hyperbolic space. When the flow is not $\R$-covered,…
