A counterexample to Guillemin's Zollfrei conjecture (English)
0 references
This paper concerns Zollfrei metrics on compact 3-manifolds. As the main result, the author constructs Zollfrei Lorentzian metrics on every non-trivial orientable circle bundle over an orientable closed surface, and this provides a counterexample to \textit{V. Guillemin}'s conjecture [Ann. Math. Stud. 121 (1989; Zbl 0697.53003)]. On the other hand, it is shown that Guillemin's conjecture holds true under additional assumption on the global hyperbolicity of the universal covering of 3-manifolds in question.
