Resumo: A magnetic trajectory is a curve $gamma$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ satisfying the equation: $$nabla_{gamma'}{gamma'}= q Fgamma'$$ where $nabla$ is the corresponding Levi-Civita connection and $F$ is a skew-symmetric $(1,1)$-tensor such that the corresponding 2-form $g(Fcdot ,cdot)$ is closed. In this talk we are going to describe all magnetic trajectories on the Heisenberg Lie group of dimension three $H_3$ for any invariant Lorentz force. We will write explicitly the magnetic equations and show that the solutions are described by Jacobi's elliptic functions. As a consequence, we will prove the existence and characterize the periodic magnetic trajectories. Then we will induce the Lorentz force to a compact quotient $H_3/Gamma$ and study the periodic magnetic trajectories there, proving its existence for any energy level when $F$ is non-exact. This is a joint work with Gabriela Ovando (UNR).
