As in any Hamiltonian flow, a natural question is the existence of periodic solutions. Does the space of $k$-jets have periodic geodesics? This study will demonstrate the integrability of \\sR geodesic flow, characterize and classify the \\sR geodesics in the space of $k$-jets, and show that they are never periodic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-05-12T15:26:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "periodic geodesics", "associated hamiltonian geodesic flow", "carnot group", "real function", "periodic solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
