It is proved here that minimizing measures of a Lagrangian flow are invariant and the Lagrangian is cohomologous to a constant on the support of their ergodic components. Moreover, it is shown that generic Lagrangians have a unique minimizing measure which is uniquely ergodic and is a limit of invariant probabilities supported on periodic orbits of the Lagrangian flows.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
