Under certain assumptions on CAT(0) spaces, we show that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing. In particular, the Bowen-Margulis' measure finiteness assumption used in recent work of Ricks is removed. We also construct examples of…

In this paper we describe the topological behavior of the geodesic flow for a class of closed 3-manifolds realized as quotients of nonstrictly convex Hilbert geometries, constructed and described explicitly by Benoist. These manifolds are…

We study the geodesic flow on the global holomorphic sections of the bundle $\pi:{TS}^2\to {S}^2$ induced by the neutral K\"ahler metric on the space of oriented lines of ${\Bbb{R}}^3$, which we identify with ${TS}^2$. This flow is shown to…

The paper is a study of geodesic in two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, the local properties of geodesics in a neighborhood of generic parabolic points are investigated. The equation of the geodesic flow has singularities at…

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…

We establish a precise asymptotic formula for the number of homotopy classes of periodic orbits for the geodesic flow on rank one manifolds of nonpositive curvature. This extends a celebrated result of G. A. Margulis to the nonuniformly…

Let M be a possibly non compact smooth manifold. We study genericity in the C^k-topology (3<=k<=+infty) of nondegeneracy properties of semi-Riemannian geodesic flows on M. Namely, we prove a new version of the Bumpy Metric Theorem for a…

We consider magnetic flows on compact quotients of the 3-dimensional solvable geometry Sol determined by the usual left-invariant metric and the distinguished monopole. We show that these flows have positive Liouville entropy and therefore…

This paper is devoted to the study of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian system $\dot z(t)=J \nabla H(z(t))$, where $H$ is symmetric under an action of a compact Lie group. We are looking for periodic solutions in a nearby of non-isolated…

This paper is a review on recently found connection between geodesically equivalent metrics and integrable geodesic flows. Suppose two different metrics on one manifold have the same geodesics. We show that then the geodesic flows of these…

Our purpose here is to adapt the results of Geodesic circle foliations for Reeb flows or Hamiltonian flows on contact manifolds. Consequently, all periods are exactly the same if the contact manifold is connected and all orbits on the…

Let $M$ be a geometrically finite acylindrical hyperbolic 3-manifold and let $M^*$ denote the interior of the convex core of M. We show that any geodesic plane in $M^*$ is either closed or dense, and that there are only countably many…

In this work we investigate families of compact Lorentzian manifolds in dimension four. We show that every lightlike geodesic on such spaces is periodic, while there are closed and non-closed spacelike and timelike geodesics. Their isometry…

The geodesic flow of a Riemannian metric on a compact manifold $Q$ is said to be toric integrable if it is completely integrable and the first integrals of motion generate a homogeneous torus action on the punctured cotangent bundle…

A recursion operator for a geodesic flow, in a noncommutative (NC) phase space endowed with a Minkowski metric, is constructed and discussed in this work. A NC Hamiltonian function $\mathcal{H}_{nc}$ describing the dynamics of a free…

In this paper the geodesic flow on a 2-torus in a non-zero magnetic field is considered. Suppose that this flow admits an additional first integral $F$ on $N+2$ different energy levels which is polynomial in momenta of arbitrary degree $N$…

One can formulate the classical Kepler problem on the Heisenberg group, the simplest sub-Riemannian manifold. We take the sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian as our kinetic energy, and our potential is the fundamental solution to the Heisenberg…

It is a question by C.Sormani that whether there exists a $k \in \mathbb N$, such that any compact, smooth and simply connected manifold has a 1/k-geodesic. We prove in this paper that this is not true by showing for each $k$, there exists…

Let $(M, g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold without focal points and curvature bounded below. We prove that when the average of the sectional curvature in tangent planes along geodesics is negative and uniformly away from zero, then the…
