Hopf type rigidity for thermostats
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2013
Abstract
We study the motion of a particle on a Riemannian 2-torus under the influence of a magnetic field and a Gaussian thermostat. We prove a Hopf type rigidity for this dynamical system without conjugate points.
