Smooth Hamilton-Jacobi solutions for the Horocycle flow

Dynamical Systems 2016-02-17 v1

Abstract

In this paper we compute all the smooth solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation associated with the horocycle flow. This can be seen as the Euler-Lagrange flow (restricted to the energy level set E1(12)E^{-1}(\frac 12)) defined by the Tonelli Lagrangian L:THRL:T\mathbb H\rightarrow \mathbb R given by (hyperbolic) kinetic energy plus the standard magnetic potential. The method we use is to look at Lagrangian graphs that are contained in the level set {H=12}\{H=\frac 12\}, where H:THRH:T^*\mathbb H\rightarrow \mathbb R denotes the Hamiltonian dual to LL.
