We consider a magnetic flow without conjugate points on a closed manifold $M$ with generating vector field $\G$. Let $h\in C^{\infty}(M)$ and let $θ$ be a smooth 1-form on $M$. We show that the cohomological equation \[\G(u)=h\circ π+θ\] has a solution $u\in C^{\infty}(SM)$ only if $h=0$ and $θ$ is closed. This result was proved in \cite{DP2} under the assumption that the flow of $\G$ is Anosov.
In this paper we give sufficient conditions for existence of a solution of cohomological equation for suspension flows over automorphisms of Markov compacta, which were introduced by Vershik and Ito. The main result (Theorem 1) can be regarded as a symbolic analogue of results due to Forni and Marmi, Moussa and Yoccoz for translation flows and interval exchange transformations.
We study the twisted cohomoligical equation over the geodesic flow on $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/Γ$. We characterize the obstructions to solving the twisted cohomological equation, construct smooth solution and obtain the tame Sobolev estimates for the solution, i.e, there is finite loss of regularity (with respect to Sobolev norms) between the twisted coboundary and the solution. We also give a tame splittings for non-homogeneous cohomological equations. The result can be viewed as a first step toward the application of KAM method in obtaining differential rigidity for partially hyperbolic actions in …
Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a higher-rank connected semisimple Lie group with finite center and without compact factors. In any unitary representation $(π, \mathcal{H})$ of $\mathbb{G}$ without non-trivial $\mathbb{G}$-fixed vectors, we study the twisted cohomological equation $(X+m)f=g$, where $m\in\mathbb{R}$ and $X$ is in a $\mathbb{R}$-split Cartan subalgebra of $\text{Lie}(\mathbb{G})$. We characterize the obstructions to solving the cohomological equation, construct smooth solutions of the cohomological equation and obtain tame Sobolev estimates for $f$. We also study common solution to (the inf…
In this paper we introduce a new compactness condition - Property (C) - for flows in (not necessary locally compact) metric spaces. For such flows a Conley type theory can be developed. For example (regular) index pairs always exist for Property-(C) flows and a Conley index can be defined. An important class of flows satisfying this compactness condition are LS-flows. We apply E-cohomology to index pairs of LS-flows and obtain the E-cohomological Conley index. We formulate a continuation principle for the E-cohomological Conley index and show that all LS-flows can be continued to LS-gradient f…
These notes are based on lectures given by the author at the Summer School on Teichmüller dynamics, mapping class groups and applications in Grenoble, France, in June 2018 and at the Oberwolfach Seminar on Anisotropic Spaces and their Applications to Hyperbolic and Parabolic Systems in June 2019. We derive results about the so-called Ruelle resonances and the asymptotics of correlations for several classes of systems from known results on cohomological equations and invariant distributions for the respective unstable vector fields. In particular, we consider pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms on su…
We show that any measurable solution of the cohomological equation for a Hölder linear cocycle over a hyperbolic system coincides almost everywhere with a Hölder solution. More generally, we show that every measurable invariant conformal structure for a Hölder linear cocycle over a hyperbolic system coincides almost everywhere with a continuous invariant conformal structure. We also use the main theorem to show that a linear cocycle is conformal if none of its iterates preserve a measurable family of proper subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. We use this to characterize closed negatively curved Rie…
Let X be a vector field on a compact connected manifold M. An important question in dynamical systems is to know when a function g:M -> R is a coboundary for the flow generated by X, i.e. when there exists a function f: M->R such that Xf=g. In this article we investigate this question for nilflows on nilmanifolds. We show that there exists countably many independent Schwartz distributions D_n such that any sufficiently smooth function g is a coboundary iff it belongs to the kernel of all the distributions D_n.
We refine the theory of the cohomological equation for translation flows on higher genus surfaces with the goal of proving optimal results on the Sobolev regularity of solutions and of distributional obstructions. For typical translation surfaces our results are sharp and we find the expected relation between the regularity of the distributional obstructions and the Lyapunov exponents of the Kontsevich-Zorich renormalization cocycle. As a consequence we exactly determine the dimension of the space of obstructions in each Sobolev regularity class in terms of the Kontsevich-Zorich exponents. For…
We study the cohomological pressure introduced by R.Sharp (defined by using topological pressures of certain potentials of Anosov flows). In particular, we get the rigidity in the case that this pressure coincides with the metrical entropy, generalising related rigidity results of A.Katok and P. Foulon.
This article surveys recent progress of results in topology and dynamics based on techniques of closed one-forms. Our approach allows us to draw conclusions about properties of flows by studying homotopical and cohomological features of manifolds. More specifically we describe a Lusternik - Schnirelmann type theory for closed one-forms, the focusing effect for flows and the theory of Lyapunov one-forms. We also discuss recent results about cohomological treatment of the invariants cat(X, ξ) and cat^1(X, ξ) and their explicit computation in certain examples.
We consider parabolic flows on 3-dimensional manifolds which are renormalized by circle extensions of Anosov diffeormorphisms. This class of flows includes nilflows on the Heisenberg nilmanifold which are renormalized by partially hyperbolic automorphisms. The transfer operators associated to the renormalization maps, acting on anisotropic Sobolev spaces, are known to have good spectral properties (this relies on ideas which have some resemblance to representation theory but also apply to non-algebraic systems). The spectral information is used to describe the deviation of ergodic averages and…
We exhibit an explicit full measure class of minimal interval exchange maps T for which the cohomological equation $Ψ-Ψ\circ T=Φ$ has a bounded solution $Ψ$ provided that the datum $Φ$ belongs to a finite codimension subspace of the space of functions having on each interval a derivative of bounded variation. The class of interval exchange maps is characterized in terms of a diophantine condition of ``Roth type'' imposed to an acceleration of the Rauzy--Veech--Zorich continued fraction expansion associated to T. CONTENTS 0. Introduction 1. The continued fraction algorithm for interval exchange…
We study the cohomological equation for a smooth vector field on a compact manifold. We show that if the vector field is cohomology free, then it can be embedded continuously in a linear flow on an Abelian group.
Let $M$ be a closed oriented surface endowed with a Riemannian metric $g$ and let $Ω$ be a 2-form. We show that the magnetic flow of the pair $(g,Ω)$ has zero asymptotic Maslov index and zero Liouville action if and only $g$ has constant Gaussian curvature, $Ω$ is a constant multiple of the area form of $g$ and the magnetic flow is a horocycle flow. This characterization of horocycle flows implies that if the magnetic flow of a pair $(g,Ω)$ is $C^1$-conjugate to the horocycle flow of a hyperbolic metric $\bar{g}$ then there exists a constant $a>0$, such that $ag$ and $\bar{g}$ are isometric an…

We interpret magnetic billiards as Finsler ones and describe an analog of the string construction for magnetic billiards. Finsler billiards for which the law "angle of incidence equals angle of reflection" are described. We characterize the Finsler metrics in the plane whose geodesics are circles of a fixed radius. This is a magnetic analog of Hilbert's fourth problem asking to describe the Finsler metrics whose geodesics are straight lines.
We consider magnetic flows on 2-step nilmanifolds $M = Γ\backslash G$, where the Riemannian metric $g$ and the magnetic field $σ$ are left-invariant. Our first result is that when $σ$ represents a rational cohomology class and its restriction to $\mathfrak{g} = T_eG$ vanishes on the derived algebra, then the associated magnetic flow has zero topological entropy. In particular, this is the case when $σ$ represents a rational cohomology class and is exact. Our second result is the construction of a magnetic field on a 2-step nilmanifold that has positive topological entropy for arbitrarily high …
Let $M$ be a closed oriented surface of negative Gaussian curvature and let $Ω$ be a non-exact 2-form. Let $λ$ be a small positive real number. We show that the longitudinal KAM-cocycle of the magnetic flow given by $\la Ω$ is a coboundary if and only if the Gaussian curvature is constant and $Ω$ is a constant multiple of the area form.
We study the topological entropy of the magnetic flow on a closed riemannian surface. We prove that if the magnetic flow has a non-hyperbolic closed orbit in some energy set T^cM= E^{-1}(c), then there exists an exact $ C^\infty$-perturbation of the 2-form $ Ω$ such that the new magnetic flow has positive topological entropy in T^cM. We also prove that if the magnetic flow has an infinite number of closed orbits in T^cM, then there exists an exact C^1-perturbation of $ Ω$ with positive topological entropy in T^cM. The proof of the last result is based on an analog of Franks' lemma for magnetic…
We obtain Kupka-Smale theorem and Franks lemma for magnetic flows on manifolds with any dimension. This improves Miranda result on surfaces. However our methods relies on geometric control theory, like in Rifford and Ruggiero articles.
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. It is known that diagonal metric associated with this system is Egorov one if degree of the first integral is equal to 2 or 3. In this paper we prove this fact in the case of existence of the first integral of any degree.
We completely integrate the magnetic geodesic flow on a flat two-torus with the magnetic field $F = \cos (x) dx \wedge dy$ and describe all contractible periodic magnetic geodesics. It is shown that there are no such geodesics for energy $E \geq 1/2$, for $E< 1/2$ simple periodic magnetic geodesics form two $S^1$-families for which the (fixed energy) action functional is positive and therefore there are no periodic magnetic geodesics for which the action functional is negative.

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 $N$ with analytic periodic coefficients. It is proved that in this case the magnetic field and metrics are functions of one variable and there exists a linear in momenta first integral on all energy levels.
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 show that those integrable magnetic systems admitting a global surface of section satisfy a sharp systolic inequality.
We describe a class of completely integrable $G$-invariant magnetic geodesic flows on (co)adjoint orbits of a compact connected Lie group $G$ with magnetic field given by the Kirillov-Konstant 2-form.
We consider magnetic flows on compact quotients of the 3-dimensional solvable geometry Sol determined by the usual left-invariant metric and the distinguished monopole. We show that these flows have positive Liouville entropy and therefore are never completely integrable. This should be compared with the known fact that the underlying geodesic flow is completely integrable in spite of having positive topological entropy. We also show that for a large class of twisted cotangent bundles of solvable manifolds every compact set is displaceable.
It is proved that the motion of a charge particle on a hyperbolic oriented two-dimensional surface in a magnetic field given by the volume form of the hyperbolic metric is completely integrable on the energy levels E < 1/2 in terms of real-analytic integrals. However it was known that on the level E=1/2 every trajectory is transitive and the restrictions of this flow onto the levels E>1/2 are Anosov flows
