Abstract

Following the basic principles stated by Painlev\'e, we first revisit the process of selecting the admissible time-independent Hamiltonians H=(p12+p22)/2+V(q1,q2)H=(p_1^2+p_2^2)/2+V(q_1,q_2) whose some integer power qjnj(t)q_j^{n_j}(t) of the general solution is a singlevalued function of the complex time tt. In addition to the well known rational potentials VV of H\'enon-Heiles, this selects possible cases with a trigonometric dependence of VV on qjq_j. Then, by establishing the relevant confluences, we restrict the question of the explicit integration of the seven (three ``cubic'' plus four ``quartic'') rational H\'enon-Heiles cases to the quartic cases. Finally, we perform the explicit integration of the quartic cases, thus proving that the seven rational cases have a meromorphic general solution explicitly given by a genus two hyperelliptic function.
