Hyperbolic dynamics of Euler-Lagrange flows on prescribed energy levels
We show that most compact semi-simple Lie groups carry many left invariant metrics with positive topological entropy. We also show that many homogeneous spaces admit collective Riemannian metrics arbitrarily close to the bi-invariant metric and whose geodesic flow has positive topological entropy. Other properties of collective geodesic flows are also discussed.
We give an example of a symplectic manifold with a stable hypersurface such that nearby hypersurfaces are typically unstable.
