Abstract

We show that there exist non-exact magnetic flows on the two-sphere having an energy level whose double cover is strictly contactomorphic to an irrational ellipsoid in $\mathbb C^2$. Our construction generalizes the examples of integrable Finsler metrics on the two-sphere with only two closed geodesics due to A. Katok.<br />Comment: 13 pages. Second version. We have added a sharper example in the larger class of Lagrangians attaining a Morse-Bott non-degenerate minimum at the zero section. Comments, questions, and suggestions are very welcome. To appear in the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
