Abstract: We will briefly introduce some basic conclusions of the Mather theory of the positive definite Lagrange system, and then discuss the dynamic complexity of the Lagrange system defined on a tight manifold with a complex topology structure. We are committed to the fact that complex space structure will lead to complex dynamical behaviors in the system defined in this space. As a typical example, we will prove that if the fundamental group of the manifolds has exponential growth, any autonomous Lagrange system defined on this manifold has a positive topological entropy on the isoenergetic surface of the energy above the critical value.
