We determine a precise necessary and sufficient condition for completeness of the Hamiltonian vector field associated to a homogeneous cubic polynomial on a symplectic plane.
We prove that the rank of the cohomology of a closed symplectic manifold with coefficients in a field of characteristic $p$ is smaller than the number of periodic orbits of any non-degenerate Hamiltonian flow. Following Floer, the proof…
This paper defines symplectic scale manifolds based on Hofer-Wysocki-Zehnder's scale calculus. We introduce Hamiltonian vector fields and flows on these by narrowing down sc-smoothness to what we denote by strong sc-smoothness, a concept…
We show that Hamiltonian monodromy of an integrable two degrees of freedom system with a global circle action can be computed by applying Morse theory to the Hamiltonian of the system. Our proof is based on Takens's index theorem, which…
A large class of two-dimensional free-surface hydrodynamical systems is determined that can be self-consistently reduced by the condition that the velocity profile has a constant shear. The reduced systems turn out to be Hamiltonian, and so…
In a previous paper [3] we have studied flows defined on polytopes, presenting a new method to encapsulate its asymptotic dynamics along the edge-vertex heteroclinic network. These results apply to the class of polymatrix replicator…
The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the…
We find all homogeneous quadratic systems of ODEs with two dependent variables that have polynomial first integrals and satisfy the Kowalevski-Lyapunov test. Such systems have infinitely many polynomial infinitesimal symmetries. We describe…
Starting from generic bilinear Hamiltonians, constructed by covariant vector, bivector or tensor fields, it is possible to derive a general symplectic structure which leads to holonomic and anholonomic formulations of Hamilton equations of…
We investigate multi-dimensional Hamiltonian systems associated with constant Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type. A complete list of two- and three-component integrable Hamiltonians is obtained. All our examples possess dispersionless…
We prove a spectral flow formula for one-parameter families of Hamiltonian systems under homoclinic boundary conditions, which relates the spectral flow to the relative Maslov index of a pair of curves of Lagrangians induced by the stable…
The curvature and the reduced curvature are basic differential invariants of the pair (Hamiltonian system, Lagrange distribution) on the symplectic manifold. It is shown that the negativity of the reduced curvature implies the hyperbolicity…
We study a class of 2-dimensional Hamiltonian systems $H(x,y,p_x,p_y)=\frac12(p_x^2+p_y^2) +V(x,y)$ in which the plane $x$=$p_x$=0 is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, so that straight-line librations along the y axis exist, and we also…
We study the modular Hamiltonians of an interval for the massless Dirac fermion on the half-line. The most general boundary conditions ensuring the global energy conservation lead to consider two phases, where either the vector or the axial…
We present a theoretical method to generate a highly accurate {\em time-independent} Hamiltonian governing the finite-time behavior of a time-periodic system. The method exploits infinitesimal unitary transformation steps, from which…
In this paper we produce a lower bound for the number of periodic orbits of certain Hamiltonian vector fields near Bott-nondegenerate symplectic critical submanifolds. This result is then related to the problem of finding closed orbits of…
In contrast with Kotzig's result that the line graph of a $3$-regular graph $X$ is Hamilton decomposable if and only if $X$ is Hamiltonian, we show that for each integer $k\geq 4$ there exists a simple non-Hamiltonian $k$-regular graph…
In this paper we first show that the necessary condition introduced in our previous paper is also a sufficient condition for a path to be a geodesic in the group $\Ham^c(M)$ of compactly supported Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms. This…
With a view on the formal analogy between Riemann-von-Mangoldts explicit formula and semiclassical quantum mechanics in terms of the Gutzwiller trace formula we construct a complex-valued Hamiltonian $H(q,p)=\xi(q)p$ from the holomorphic…
It is known that a linear system with a system matrix A constitutes a Hamiltonian system with a quadratic Hamiltonian if and only if A is a Hamiltonian matrix. This provides a straightforward method to verify whether a linear system is…
