Killing submersions and magnetic curves (Q2680405)

In the article under review the authors study magnetic curves in Killing submersions and show that the bundle curvature is constant along magnetic curves with respect to the Killing vector field if and only if all vertical tubes derived from these magnetic curves are of constant mean curvature. These assertions are equivalent to the property for the magnetic curve of having constant second curvature. The article also contains a detailed study of magnetic Jacobi fields along horizontal Killing magnetic curves in the total space of a Killing submersion. Such study extends \textit{B. O'Neill}'s previous work [Duke Math. J. 34, 363--373 (1967; Zbl 0147.40605)] for horizontal geodesics to horizontal magnetic curves. Afterwards the authors apply their results to Killing submersions equipped with a homogeneous Sasakian structure and give a complete description of the magnetic Jacobi fields along horizontal Killing magnetic curves in Sasakian space forms of dimension 3.
