The Multiplicity Problem for Periodic Orbits of Magnetic Flows on the 2-Sphere

We consider magnetic Tonelli Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of the 2-sphere, where the magnetic form is not necessarily exact. It is known that, on very low and on high energy levels, these systems may have only finitely many periodic orbits. Our main result asserts that almost all ener...
