Let $Q$ be a closed manifold admitting a locally-free action of a compact Lie group $G$. In this paper we study the properties of geodesic flows on $Q$ given by Riemannian metrics which are invariant by such an action. In particular, we will be interested in the existence of geodesics which are closed up to the action of some element in the group $G$, since they project to closed magnetic geodesics on the quotient orbifold $Q/G$.

The problem of the existence of an additional (independent on the energy) first integral, of a geodesic (or magnetic geodesic) flow, which is polynomial in momenta is studied. The relation of this problem to the existence of nontrivial solutions of stationary dispersionless limits of two-dimensional soliton equations is demonstrated. The nonexistence of an additional quadratic first integral is established for certain classes of magnetic geodesic flows.
In this article, we consider a closed rank one Riemannian manifold $M$ without focal points. Let $P(t)$ be the set of free-homotopy classes containing a closed geodesic on $M$ with length at most $t$, and $# P(t)$ its cardinality. We obtain the following Margulis-type asymptotic estimates: [lim_{tto infty}#P(t)/frac{e^{ht}}{ht}=1] where $h$ is the topological entropy of the geodesic flow. In the appendix, we also show that the unique measure of maximal entropy of the geodesic flow has the Bernoulli property.
We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits such an action, and every odd-dimensional, compact Riemannian orbifold has a nontrivial closed geodesic.
In this article, we study the ergodicity of the geodesic flows on surfaces with no focal points. Let $M$ be a smooth connected and closed surface equipped with a $C^infty$ Riemannian metric $g$, whose genus $mathfrak{g} geq 2$. Suppose that $(M,g)$ has no focal points. We prove that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $M$ is ergodic with respect to the Liouville measure, under the assumption that the set of points on $M$ with negative curvature has at most finitely many connected components.
We show that on every compact Riemannian 2-orbifold there exist infinitely many closed geodesics of positive length.
