An integrable Henon-Heiles system on the sphere and the hyperbolic plane
Abstract
We construct a constant curvature analogue on the two-dimensional sphere and the hyperbolic space of the integrable H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonian given by where and are real constants. The curved integrable Hamiltonian so obtained depends on a parameter which is just the curvature of the underlying space, and is such that the Euclidean H\'enon-Heiles system is smoothly obtained in the zero-curvature limit . On the other hand, the Hamiltonian that we propose can be regarded as an integrable perturbation of a known curved integrable anisotropic oscillator. We stress that in order to obtain the curved H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonian , the preservation of the full integrability structure of the flat Hamiltonian under the deformation generated by the curvature will be imposed. In particular, the existence of a curved analogue of the full Ramani-Dorizzi-Grammaticos (RDG) series of integrable polynomial potentials, in which the flat H\'enon-Heiles potential can be embedded, will be essential in our construction. Such infinite family of curved RDG potentials on and will be also explicitly presented.
