We study the geodesic flow on the normal line congruence of a minimal surface in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$ induced by the neutral K\"ahler metric on the space of oriented lines. The metric is lorentz with isolated degenerate points and the flow is…

Normal geodesic flows flows of Carnot-Caratheodory are discussed from the point of view of the theory of Hamiltonian systems. The geodesic flows corresponding to left-invariant metrics and left- and -right-invariant rank 2 distributions on…
We discuss pseudo-Riemannian metrics on 2-dimensional manifolds such that the geodesic flow admits a nontrivial integral quadratic in velocities. We construct local normal forms of such metrics. We show that these metrics have certain…

We study $n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifolds whose geodesic flows possess $n$ first integrals in involution that are fibrewise hermitian forms and simultaneously normalizable. Under some mild assumption, one can associate with such a…
We start by constructing a Hilbert manifold T of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle (modulo the group of bi-holomorphic self-mappings of the disc). This space, which could be thought of as a completion of the universal…
We suggest a construction that, given a trajectorial diffeomorphism between two Hamiltonian systems, produces integrals of them. As the main example we treat geodesic equivalence of metrics. We show that the existence of a non-trivially…
It is conjectured that the only integrable metrics on the two-dimensional torus are Liouville metrics. In this paper, we study a deformative version of this conjecture: We consider integrable deformations of a non-flat Liouville metric in a…
Given a tree $T$ and a group $\Ga$ of automorphisms of $T$, we study the markovian properties of the geodesic flow on the quotient by $\Ga$ of the space of geodesics of $T$. For instance, when $T$ is the Bruhat-Tits tree of a semi-simple…
In this paper we study some aspects of integrable magnetic systems on the two-torus. On the one hand, we construct the first non-trivial examples with the property that all magnetic geodesics with unit speed are closed. On the other hand,…
We study the geodesic flow corresponding to the left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric and the right-invariant distribution on the second Heisenberg group. The corresponding Hamiltonian system is completely integrable and in this paper we…
A criterion in terms of differential invariants for a metric on a surface to be Liouville is established. Moreover, in this paper we completely solve in invariant terms the local mobility problem of a 2D metric, considered by Darboux: How…
We show that Laplace isospectral deformations within a conformal class of generic Liouville metrics on the two-dimensional torus that are linear in the deformation parameter are necessarily trivial. Two of the main ingredients in our proof…
In this paper we construct multiparametric families of two dimensional metrics with polynomial first integral. Such integrable geodesic flows are described by solutions of some semi-Hamiltonian hydrodynamic type system. We find infinitely…
We propose a new condition $\aleph$ which enables to get new results on integrable geodesic flows on closed surfaces. This paper has two parts. In the first, we strengthen Kozlov's theorem on non-integrability on surfaces of higher genus.…
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.…
