Abstract

Curvature-type invariants of Hamiltonian systems generalize sectional curvatures of Riemannian manifolds: the negativity of the curvature is an indicator of the hyperbolic behavior of the Hamiltonian flow. In this paper, we give a self-contained description of the related constructions and facts; they lead to a natural extension of the classical results about Riemannian geodesic flows and indicate some new phenomena.
