Consider a magnetic field on a closed Riemannian manifold of negative curvature. A geometric study provides dynamical properties of the associated flow stronger than expected for general perturbations of the geodesic flow. Under natural assumptions, a magnetic flow on a closed surface cannot be ${\mathcal C}^1$-conjugate to a geodesic flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
