Magnetic Katok Examples on the two-sphere

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 C2. Our construction generalizes the examples of integrable Finsler metrics on the two-sphere with only two closed geodesics due to A. Katok.
