Abstract by
Professor Eugene Lerman
Geodesic flows and contact toric manifolds.
This is joint work with Nadya Shirokova. We sketch a partial solution to a question posted by Steve Zelditch: Given a metric on a torus with the property that the corresponding geodesic flow is completely integrable, is it true that the metric is necessarily flat? We show that the answer is yes if the action-angle corrdinates are global.
