Let $M$ be a closed connected $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifold whose geodesic flow $\phi$ is Anosov. Let $\theta$ be a smooth 1-form on $M$. Given $\lambda\in \mathbb R$ small, let $h_{E L}(\lambda)$ be the topological entropy of the Euler-Lagrange flow of the Lagrangian

$L_\lambda (x, v) =\frac{1}{2}|v|^2_x-\lambda\theta_x(v),$

and let $h_F(\lambda)$ be the topological entropy of the geodesic flow of the Finsler metric,

$F_\lambda(x, v) = |v|_x-\lambda\theta_x(v),$

We show that $h_{E L}''(0) + h''_F(0) = h^2$Var$(\theta)$, where Var$(\theta)$ is the variance of $\theta$ with respect to the measure of maximal entropy of $\phi$ and $h$ is the topological entropy of $\phi$. We derive various consequences from this formula.

Keywords: Euler-Lagrange flow, variance, Entropy, Finsler geodesic flow..
