In this paper we prove that the compact Lie group $G_2$ admits a left-invariant Einstein metric that is not geodesic orbit. In order to prove the required assertion, we develop some special tools for geodesic orbit Riemannian manifolds. It…

Let $G/K$ be an orbit of the adjoint representation of a compact connected Lie group $G$, $\sigma$ be an involutive automorphism of $G$ and $\tilde G$ be the Lie group of fixed points of $\sigma$. We find a sufficient condition for the…

We construct Riemannian manifolds with completely integrable geodesic flows, in particular various nonhomogeneous examples. The methods employed are a modification of Thimm's method, Riemannian submersions and connected sums.

We consider homogeneous spaces of Lie groups with compact stabilizer subgroups of two types: those with integrable invariant distributions and those with geodesic orbit invariant Riemannian metrics. The latter means that for an arbitrary…

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…

The present paper deals with the stability analysis for the geodesic flow of a step-two nilpotent Lie group equipped with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. The Lie-Poisson equation can be described in terms of the so-called…

Geodesics on Riemannian manifolds are precisely the locally length-minimizing curves, but their explicit description via simple functions is rarely possible. Geodesics of the simplest form, such as lines on Euclidean space and great circles…

An example of a real-analytic metric on a compact manifold whose geodesic flow is Liouville integrable by $C^\infty$ functions and has positive topological entropy is constructed.
