 Magnetic flow on a Riemannian surface

A unit-speed curve with $D_t\dot{\gamma }=f(\gamma )i\dot{\gamma }$ defines the magnetic flow. The vertical term rotates the velocity while the horizontal part transports it along the base. Since $V(f\circ \pi )=0$, the divergence of $X+fV$ in Liouville volume vanishes. The associated two-form on the unit tangent bundle is $d\alpha -f{\pi }^{\ast }{\Omega }_a=-{\iota }_F\mu$, whose kernel is the magnetic flow direction.
