Geodesic flows on the two-dimensional torus and phase transitions ``commensurability-noncommensurability'' (Q1100789): Difference between revisions

The authors consider invariant sets of geodesic flows on the torus \(T^2\). For each rational member of rotation, they construct such an invariant set being torus or Cantor torus. The main result is that an invariant Lagrangian torus of geodesic flows has projection on the base of cotangent bundle if and only if its geodesic trajectories are A-geodesic (minimizing length). Aubry's method is adapted for the geodesic flows on \(T^2\).
