Tensor invariants of natural mechanical systems on compact surfaces and the corresponding integrals

The classification problem for tensor invariants of geodesic flows on compact surfaces is considered. Such invariants include first integrals, multivalued integrals, and symmetry fields. The problem is solved for tensor invariants of arbitrary degrees. It is shown that the invariants under consideration can vanish at some point only in the presence of two-valued symmetry fields and multivalued integrals.
