How can quaternions describe the magnetic geodesic flow on the 2-sphere.

Abstract

We will define the lift of the magnetic geodesic flow from S^2 to S^3, and then give a contact-geometric interpretation in terms of quaternionic symmetries (widely inspired by Albers-Geiges-Zehmisch arXiv:1705.08126).
