Superintegrable Bertrand magnetic geodesic flows
Abstract
The problem of description of superintegrable systems (i.e., systems with closed trajectories in a certain domain) in the class of rotationally symmetric natural mechanical systems goes back to Bertrand and Darboux. We describe all superintegrable (in a domain of slow motions) systems in the class of rotationally symmetric magnetic geodesic flows. We show that all sufficiently slow motions in a central magnetic field on a two-dimensional manifold of revolution are periodic if and only if the metric has a constant scalar curvature and the magnetic field is homogeneous, i.e. proportional to the area form.
