By considering an action functional which keeps fixed the energy we obtain the adequate notion of conjugacy along an electromagnetic geodesic. Then we employ a functional analytic criterion for bifurcation of critical points of strongly indefinite functionals, based on the so-called crossing form, to obtain a sufficient condition for bifurcation of electromagnetic geodesics to occur.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-26T13:51:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58E07", "58E10", "47A53" ], "keywords": [ "electromagnetic geodesic", "energy level", "bifurcation", "functional analytic criterion", "strongly indefinite functionals" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
