We construct a pair of compact, eight-dimensional, two-step Riemannian nilmanifolds $M$ and $M'$ which are isospectral for the Laplace operator on functions and such that $M$ has completely integrable geodesic flow in the sense of…
Almost nothing is known concerning the extension of $3$-dimensional Kronecker--Weyl equidistribution theorem on geodesic flow from the unit torus $[0,1)^3$ to non-integrable finite polycube translation $3$-manifolds. In the special case…
Geometric flows have proved to be a powerful geometric analysis tool, perhaps most notably in the study of 3-manifold topology, the differentiable sphere theorem, Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections and canonical Kaehler metrics. In the…
We give a new proof of the existence of compact surfaces embedded in $R^3$ with Anosov geodesic flows. This proof starts with a non-compact model surface whose geodesic flow is shown to be Anosov using a uniformly strictly invariant cone…
In this paper, we construct a geometrical compactification of the geodesic flow of non-compact complete hyperbolic surfaces $\Sigma$ without cusps having finitely generated fundamental group. We study the dynamical properties of the…
In this survey article we gather classical as well as recent results on minimal geodesics of Riemannian or Finsler metrics, giving special attention to the two-dimensional case. Moreover, we present open problems together with some first…
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…
In this article, we study the ergodicity of the geodesic flows on surfaces with no focal points. Let $M$ be a smooth connected and closed surface equipped with a $C^\infty$ Riemannian metric $g$, whose genus $\mathfrak{g} \geq 2$. Suppose…
We study magnetic geodesic flows invariant under rotations on the 2-sphere. The dynamical system is given by a generic pair of functions $(f,\Lambda)$ in one variable. Topology of the Liouville fibration of the given integrable system near…
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 $N$…
In this study, we investigate two distinct classes of normal geodesic flows associated with the left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric on the (2n + 1)-dimensional Heisenberg group. The first class arises from the left-invariant distribution,…
We prove that the geodesic flow on a locally CAT(-1) metric space which is compact, or more generally convex cocompact with non-elementary fundamental group, can be coded by a suspension flow over an irreducible shift of finite type with…
Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of hyperbolic type, i.e M is a manifold admitting another metric of strictly negative curvature. In this paper we study the geodesic flow restricted to the set of geodesics which are minimal on the…
Four subriemannian (SR) structures over the Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^7$ are considered in accordance to the previous literature. The defining bracket generating distribution is chosen as the horizontal space in the Hopf fibration, the…
We prove that for Matveev and Shevchishin superintegrable system, with a linear and a cubic integral, the metrics defined on S^2 and on Tannery's orbifold T^2 are either Zoll or Tannery metrics.
We show that geodesics in the upper half-plane attached to a maximal split torus or a real quadratic torus in $GL_{2, \mathbf{Q}}$ are the only irreducible algebraic curves whose image via the $j$-invariant is contained in an algebraic…
We establish that, for every hyperbolic orbifold of type (2, q, $\infty$) and for every orbifold of type (2, 3, 4g+2), the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle is left-handed. This implies that the link formed by every collection of…
We present diagonal Einstein metrics for Bianchi III and V, both for minkowskian and euclidean signatures and we show that the Einstein Bianchi III metrics have an integrable geodesic flow.
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…
We introduce a natural subset of the unit tangent bundle of a convex projective manifold, the biproximal unit tangent bundle; it is closed and invariant under the geodesic flow, and we prove that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing on…
