چکیده

A toric integrable geodesic flow on a manifold M is a completely integrable geodesic flow such that the integrals generate a homogeneous torus action on the punctured cotangent bundle T ∗M \ M . A toric integrable manifold is a manifold which has a toric integrable geodesic flow. Toric integrable manifolds can be characterized as those whose cosphere bundle (the sphere bundle in the cotangent bundle) have the structure of a contact toric manifold. In this paper, we identify all 3-dimensional toric integrable manifolds using a classification of contact toric manifolds and a method of detecting when a manifold is a cosphere bundle. There turns out to be only three diffeomorphism classes: the 3-sphere, the 3-torus and quotients of the 3-sphere by finite cyclic groups. All of these manifolds then possess toric integrable geodesic flows.

Geodesic flows and contact toric manifolds

Forward These notes are based on five 1.5 hour lectures on torus actions on contact mani-folds delivered at the summer school on Symplectic Geometry of Integrable Hamil-tonian Systems at Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona in July 2001. Naturally the notes contain more material that could have been delivered in 7.5 hours. I am grateful to Carlos Curràs-Bosch and Eva Miranda, the organizer...

Riemannian Manifolds with Integrable Geodesic Flows

In this paper we will survey some recent results on the Hamiltonian dynamics of the geodesic flow of a Riemannian manifold. More specifically, we are interested in those manifolds which admit a Riemannian metric for which the geodesic flow is integrable. In Section 2, we introduce the necessary topics from symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian dynamics (and, in particular, we defined the terms ge...
