Abstract
We review the integrability of the geodesic flow on a threefold admitting one of the three group geometries in Thurston’s sense. We focus on the case. The main examples are the quotients , where is a cofinite Fuchsian group. We show that the corresponding phase space contains two open regions with integrable and chaotic behaviour, with zero and positive topological entropy, respectively. As a concrete example we consider the case of the modular threefold with the modular group . In this case is known to be homeomorphic to the complement of a trefoil knot in a 3-sphere. Ghys proved the remarkable fact that the lift of a periodic geodesic on the modular surface to produces the same isotopy class of knots as that which appears in the chaotic version of the celebrated Lorenz system and was studied in detail by Birman and Williams. We show that these knots are replaced by trefoil knot cables in the integrable limit of the geodesic system on . Bibliography: 60 titles.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
