Abstract

In this paper we show that the geodesic flow in a Hedlund-type metric on the 3-torus possesses the shadowing property. This implies, in particular, that any rotation vector is represented by a geodesic, a fact that in the two-dimensional case is given by the Aubry–Mather theory, while in the higher-dimensional case is still unknown.
