contents We extend two results from the theory of geodesic flows to the magnetic setting on manifolds of arbitrary dimension. First, we investigate the magnetic ray transform and establish a tensor tomography result. Second, we define and analyze the ergodicity of the magnetic frame flow under a pinching condition, building on work of Cekić-Lefeuvre-Moroianu-Semmelmann. These generalizations rely on new Pestov identities tailored to the magnetic flow, which extend and improve identities derived by Dairbekov-Paternain. In the process, we develop a framework that adapts several concepts of Riemannian geometry to the magnetic context, including covariant differentiation, torsion, curvature, and Jacobi fields. Notably, our curvature tensor generalizes the magnetic sectional curvature recently proposed by Assenza.
