Finiteness of totally magnetic hypersurfaces

Abstract: By introducing a dynamical version of the second fundamental form, we generalize a recent result of Filip--Fisher--Lowe to the setting of magnetic systems. Namely, we show that a real-analytic negatively s-curved magnetic system on a closed real-analytic manifold has only finitely many closed totally s-magnetic hypersurfaces, unless the magnetic 2-form is trivial and the underlying metric is hyperbolic.
