New examples of conservative systems on S^2 possessing an integral cubic in momenta
Abstract
It has been proved that on 2-dimensional orientable compact manifolds of genus there is no integrable geodesic flow with an integral polynomial in momenta. There is a conjecture that all integrable geodesic flows on possess an integral quadratic in momenta. All geodesic flows on and possessing integrals linear and quadratic in momenta have been described by Kolokol'tsov, Babenko and Nekhoroshev. So far there has been known only one example of conservative system on possessing an integral cubic in momenta: the case of Goryachev-Chaplygin in the dynamics of a rigid body. The aim of this paper is to propose a new one-parameter family of examples of complete integrable conservative systems on possessing an integral cubic in momenta. We show that our family does not include the case of Goryachev-Chaplygin.
