We establish that Gaussian thermostats are geodesic flows of special metric connections. We give sufficient conditions for hyperbolicity of geodesic flows of metric connections in terms of their curvature and torsion.

Magnetic flows and Gaussian thermostats on manifolds of negative curvature
We consider a class of flows which includes both magnetic flows and Gaussian thermostats of external fields. We give sufficient conditions for such flows on manifolds of negative sectional curvature to be Anosov. 0. Introduction. The geodesic flow on a Riemannian manifold describes inertial motion of a point particle confined to the manifold. If the manifold has negative sectional curvature we ...

متن کاملENTROPY OF GEODESIC FLOWS ON SUBSPACES OF HECKE SURFACE WITH ARITHMETIC CODE
There are dierent ways to code the geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature. Such code spaces give a useful tool to verify the dynamical properties of geodesic flows. Here we consider special subspaces of geodesic flows on Hecke surface whose arithmetic codings varies on a set with innite alphabet. Then we will compare the topological complexity of them by computing their topological ...
متن کاملEinstein Gravity , Lagrange – Finsler Geometry , and Nonsymmetric Metrics
We formulate an approach to the geometry of Riemann–Cartan spaces provided with nonholonomic distributions defined by generic off-diagonal and nonsymmetric metrics inducing effective nonlinear and affine connections. Such geometries can be modelled by moving nonholonomic frames on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds and describe various types of nonholonomic Einstein, Eisenhart–Moffat and Finsler–Lag...
