Abstract

We prove a meromorphic integrability criterion for the geodesic flow of an algebraic manifold of the form ${z}^{p} - f({x}_{1} , \ldots , {x}_{n} )= 0$ with the induced metric of ${ \mathbb{C} }^{n+ 1} $ and $f$ a homogeneous rational function, using a parallel between the properties of such algebraic manifolds and homogeneous potentials. We then apply this criterion to the manifolds of the form $z= {\lambda }_{1} { x}_{1}^{k} + \cdots + {\lambda }_{n} { x}_{n}^{k} $, $k\in { \mathbb{Z} }^{+ } $, and ${x}^{n} {y}^{m} {z}^{l} = 1, n, m, l\in \mathbb{Z} $, and prove that their geodesic flow is not integrable except for some given exceptional cases.
