On the creation of conjugate points for thermostats
Javier EchevarrÃa Cuesta, James Marshall Reber
Let be a closed oriented Riemannian surface, and let be its unit tangent bundle. We show that the interior in the topology of the set of smooth functi…
Thermostats without conjugate points
Javier EchevarrÃa Cuesta, James Marshall Reber
We generalize Hopf's theorem to thermostats: the total thermostat curvature of a thermostat without conjugate points is non-positive and vanishes only if the thermostat curvature i…
A counterexample to marked length spectrum semi-rigidity
Andrey Gogolev, James Marshall Reber
Given a closed orientable negatively curved Riemannian surface , we show how to construct a perturbation such that each closed geodesic becomes longer, and ye…
Magnetic flatness and E. Hopf's theorem for magnetic systems
Valerio Assenza, James Marshall Reber, Ivo Terek
Using the notion of magnetic curvature recently introduced by the first author, we extend E. Hopf's theorem to the setting of magnetic systems. Namely, we prove that if the magneti…
Deformative Magnetic Marked Length Spectrum Rigidity
James Marshall Reber
Let be a closed surface and let be a smooth one-parameter family of Riemannian metrics on . Also let $\{κ_s : M \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \ | \…
