We consider the action of a parabolic subgroup of the General Linear Group on a metabelian ideal. For those actions, we classify actions with finitely many orbits using methods from representation theory.
We use a semi-numerical method to find the position and period of periodic orbits in a bisymmetrical potential, made up of a two dimensional harmonic oscillator, with an additional term of a Plummer potential, in a number of resonant cases.…
This paper concerns the existence of multiple rotating periodic solutions for $2n$ dimensional convex Hamiltonian systems. For the symplectic orthogonal matrix $Q$, the rotating periodic solution has the form of $z(t+T)=Qz(t)$, which might…
This work extends the still modest number of multiple stars with known relative orbit orientation. Accurate astrometry and radial velocities are used jointly to compute or update outer and inner orbits in three nearby triple systems HIP…
We show that non-chaotic multiply-periodic particle orbits can exist in a galaxy-like potential where a small fast-tumbling nuclear bar is nested inside a main bar which has a slower pattern speed. We introduce the concept of a loop: a…
This paper deals with the classical trajectories for two super-integrable systems: a system known in quantum chemistry as the Hartmann system and a system of potential use in quantum chemistry and nuclear physics. Both systems correspond to…
In this paper, we establish the existence of periodic orbits of a twisted geodesic flow on all low energy levels and in all dimensions whenever the magnetic field form is symplectic and spherically rational. This is a consequence of a more…
A periodic orbit on a frictionless billiard table is a piecewise linear path of a billiard ball that begins and ends at the same point with the same angle of incidence. The period of a primitive periodic orbit is the number of times the…
We track the secondary bifurcations of coherent states in plane Couette flow and show that they undergo an incomplete periodic doubling cascade that ends with a crisis bifurcation. We introduce a symbolic dynamics for the orbits and show…
Determination of periodic orbits for a Hamiltonian system together with their semi-classical quantization has been a long standing problem. We consider here resonances for a $h$-Pseudo-Differential Operator $H(y,hD_y;h)$ induced by a…
We compute the dispersion laws of chaotic periodic systems using the semiclassical periodic orbit theory to approximate the trace of the powers of the evolution operator. Aside from the usual real trajectories, we also include complex…
We study orbits and reachable sets of generic couples of Hamiltonians $H_1, H_2$ on a symplectic manifold $N$. We prove that, $C^k$-generically for $k$ large enough, orbits coincide with the whole of $N$, and that the same is true for…
In this paper we investigate some generic properties of a billiard system on a convex table. We show that generically, every hyperbolic periodic point admits some homoclinic orbit.
The Kepler-Heisenberg problem is that of determining the motion of a planet around a sun in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group. The sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian provides the kinetic energy, and the gravitational potential is given by the…
Small noise can induce rare transitions between metastable states, which can be characterized by Maximum Likelihood Paths (MLPs). Nongradient systems contrast gradient systems in that MLP does not have to cross the separatrix at a saddle…
We track the trajectories of individual horocycles on the modular surface. Our tracking is constructive, and we thus \emph{effectively} establish topological transitivity and even line-transitivity for the horocyclic flow. We also describe…
We study the class of all algebras that are isotopic to a Hurwitz algebra. Isomorphism classes of such algebras are shown to correspond to orbits of a certain group action. A complete, geometrically intuitive description of the category of…
In this paper, we treat an open problem related to the number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on closed symplectic manifolds. Hofer-Zehnder conjecture states that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms has infinitely many periodic…
We investigate the existence of elliptic islands for a special family of periodic orbits of a two-parameter family of maps corresponding to the billiard problem on the elliptical stadium. The hyperbolic or elliptical character of these…
We enumerate certain geometric equivalence classes of subgraphs induced by Hamiltonian paths and cycles in complete graphs. Said classes are orbits under the action of certain direct products of dihedral and cyclic groups on sets of strings…
