Abstract

Singular Lagrangian fibrations arising from three-degree-of-freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems remain largely unexplored. While several results describe the global structure of large classes of systems with two degrees of freedom, only a few examples are understood in higher dimensions. We present a three-degree-of-freedom system derived from the two-spin Tavis-Cummings model whose singular Lagrangian fibration exhibits a topology that has not been observed in other physical models. We show that the most degenerate singular fiber is homeomorphic to S2×S1\mathbf{S}^2\times\mathbf{S}^1 with a singularity of A2A_2 type. We further describe the bifurcation diagram and the global topology of the fibration, and we compute its Hamiltonian monodromy.
