We have recently presented strong evidence that chaotic orbits that obey one isolating integral besides energy exist in a toy Hamiltonian model with three degrees of freedom and are bounded by regular orbits that isolate them from the…
In a 2D conservative Hamiltonian system there is a formal integral $\Phi$ besides the energy H. This is not convergent near a stable periodic orbit, but it is convergent near an unstable periodic orbit. We explain this difference and we…
A cluster of three spins coupled by single-axis anisotropic exchange exhibits classical behaviors ranging from regular motion at low and high energies, to chaotic motion at intermediate energies. A change of variable, taking advantage of…
We prove that, on each low energy level, the natural Hamiltonian system defined by a generic smooth potential on $\mathbf{T}^2$ exhibits an arbitrarily high number of hyperbolic periodic orbits and a positive-measure set of invariant tori.…
The classical invariants of a Hamiltonian system are expected to be derivable from the respective quantum spectrum. In fact, semiclassical expressions relate periodic orbits with eigenfunctions and eigenenergies of classical chaotic…

In this paper, two models of interest for Celestial Mechanics are presented and analysed, using both analytic and numerical techniques, from the point of view of the possible presence of regular and/or chaotic motion, as well as the…
After early work of Henon it has become folk knowledge that symmetric periodic orbits are of particular importance. We reinforce this belief by additional studies and we further find that invariant closed symplectic submanifolds caused by…
The dynamics of a three-dimensional Hamilton-Poisson system is closely related to its constants of motion, the energy or Hamiltonian function $H$ and a Casimir $C$ of the corresponding Lie algebra. The orbits of the system are included in…
The general procedure underlying Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations consists in optimizing orbitals for a self-consistent solution of the Roothaan-Hall equations in an iterative process. It is often ignored…

We investigate the dynamics in the logarithmic galactic potential with an analytical approach. The phase-space structure of the real system is approximated with resonant detuned normal forms constructed with the method based on the Lie…
A method to reduce or enhance chaos in Hamiltonian flows with two degrees of freedom is discussed. This method is based on finding a suitable perturbation of the system such that the stability of a set of periodic orbits changes (local…
The theory of the post-Newtonian (PN) planar circular restricted three-body problem is used for numerically investigating the orbital dynamics of a test particle (e.g., a comet, asteroid, meteor or spacecraft) in the planar Sun-Jupiter…
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 present a semiclassical approach to n-point spectral correlation functions of quantum systems whose classical dynamics is chaotic, for arbitrary n. The basic ingredients are sets of periodic orbits that have nearly the same action and…
Magnetic field line chaos occurs under the presence of non-axisymmetric perturbations of an axisymmetric equilibrium and is manifested by the destruction of smooth flux surfaces formed by the field lines. These perturbations also render the…
