Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…

Two flows defined on a smooth manifold are equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism of the manifold that sends each orbit of one flow onto an orbit of the other flow while preserving the time orientation. The topological entropy of a flow…

We study the Bowen topological entropy of generic and irregular points for certain dynamical systems. We define the topological entropy of noncompact sets for flows, analogous to Bowen's definition. We show that this entropy coincides with…

In this paper, we prove Ruelle's inequality for the geodesic flow in non-compact manifolds with Anosov geodesic flow and some assumptions on the curvature. In the same way, we obtain Pesin's formula for Anosov geodesic flow in non-compact…

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.…

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…

We prove that every homogeneous flow on a finite-volume homogeneous manifold has countably many independent invariant distributions unless it is conjugate to a linear flow on a torus. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for every…

We study the dynamics of unipotent flows on frame bundles of hyperbolic manifolds of infinite volume. We prove that they are topologi-cally transitive, and that the natural invariant measure, the so-called " Burger-Roblin measure ", is…

Motivated by Gromov's geodesic flow problem on hyperbolic groups $G$, we develop in this paper an analog using random walks. This leads to a notion of a harmonic analog $\Theta$ of the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure on $\partial^2 G$. We…

In 2004, Manning showed that the topological entropy of the geodesic flow of a closed surface of non-constant negative curvature is strictly decreasing along the normalized Ricci flow, and he asked if an analogous result holds in higher…

Right-invariant geodesic flows on manifolds of Lie groups associated with 2-cocycles of corresponding Lie algebras are discussed. Algebra of integrals of motion for magnetic geodesic flows is considered and necessary and sufficient…

A few years ago Selivanova gave an existence proof for some integrable models, in fact geodesic flows on two dimensional manifolds, with a cubic first integral. However the explicit form of these models hinged on the solution of a nonlinear…

Let $Q$ be a closed manifold admitting a locally-free action of a compact Lie group $G$. In this paper we study the properties of geodesic flows on $Q$ given by Riemannian metrics which are invariant by such an action. In particular, we…

We discuss the possible relationship between geodesic flow, integrability and supersymmetry, using fermionic extensions of the KdV equation, as well as the recently introduced supersymmetrisation of the Camassa-Holm equation, as…

In this work we study the general system of geodesic equations for the case of a massive particle moving on an arbitrary curved manifold. The investigation is carried out from the symmetry perspective. By exploiting the parametrization…

We investigate a graph theoretic analog of geodesic geometry. In a graph $G=(V,E)$ we consider a system of paths $\mathcal{P}=\{P_{u,v}|u,v\in V\}$ where $P_{u,v}$ connects vertices $u$ and $v$. This system is consistent in that if vertices…

We consider a smooth closed surface $M$ of fixed genus $\geqslant 2$ with a Riemannian metric $g$ of negative curvature with fixed total area. The second author has shown that the topological entropy of geodesic flow for $g$ is greater than…

Given two c-projectively equivalent metrics on a K\"ahler manifold we show that the canoncially constructed, Poisson-commuting integrals of motion of the geodesic flow, linear and quadratic in momenta, also commute as quantum operators. The…

Given a $C^{1+\beta}$ flow $\varphi$ with positive speed on a closed smooth Riemannian manifold, we code two homoclinically related $\varphi$-invariant probabilities by an irreducible countable topological Markov flow. As an application, we…

Topological gravity is equivalent to physical gravity in two dimensions in a way that is still mysterious, though by now it has been proved by Kontsevich. In this paper it is shown that a similar relation between topological and physical…
