Abstract: We consider magnetic flows on 2-step nilmanifolds $$, where the Riemannian metric $g$ and the magnetic field $sigma$ are left-invariant. Our first result is that when $sigma$ represents a rational cohomology class and its restriction to $mathfrakg=T_{e}G$ vanishes on the derived algebra, then the associated magnetic flow has zero topological entropy. In particular, this is the case when $sigma$ represents a rational cohomology class and is exact. Our second result is the construction of a magnetic field on a 2-step nilmanifold that has positive topological entropy for arbitrarily high energy levels.
