Integrals of motion of a Hamiltonian system need not be commutative. The classical Mishchenko-Fomenko theorem enables one to quantize a noncommutative completely integrable Hamiltonian system around its invariant submanifold as an abelian…
The notion of fractional monodromy was introduced by Nekhoroshev, Sadovski\'{i} and Zhilinski\'{i} as a generalization of standard (`integer') monodromy in the sense of Duistermaat from torus bundles to singular torus fibrations. In the…
We show that any Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom is invariant under a $w_\infty$ algebra of symmetries.
An integrable Hamiltonian system presents monodromy if the action-angle variables cannot be defined globally. As a prototype of classical monodromy with azimuthal symmetry, we consider a linear molecule interacting with external fields and…
In this paper we investigate a class of natural Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. The kinetic energy depends on coordinates but the system is homogeneous. Thanks to this property it admits, in a general case, a particular…
We find a two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian for the time-symmetric problem of straight line motion of two electrons in direct relativistic interaction. This time-symmetric dynamical system appeared 100 years ago and it was popularized in…
We compute the action-angle variables for a Hamiltonian flow of the inhomogeneous six-vertex model, from a formulation introduced in a 2022 work due to Keating, Reshetikhin, and Sridhar, hence confirming a conjecture of the authors as to…
The Hamiltonian approach to the theory of dual isomonodromic deformations is developed within the framework of rational classical R-matrix structures on loop algebras. Particular solutions to the isomonodromic deformation equations…
In this paper we prove that there exists only one family of classical Hamiltonian systems of two degrees of freedom with invariant plane $\Gamma=\{q_2=p_2=0\}$ whose normal variational equation around integral curves in $\Gamma$ is…
Morse index theory provides an elegant and useful tool for describing several aspects of a Lagrangian system in terms of its variational properties. In the classical framework it provides an equality between the spectral properties of a…
In this paper, we prove a Morse index theorem for the index form of even order linear Hamiltonian systems on the closed interval with reasonable self-adjoint boundary conditions. The highest order term is assumed to be nondegenerate.
We consider a class of two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with saddle-centers connected by heteroclinic orbits and discuss some relationships between the existence of transverse heteroclinic orbits and nonintegrability. By the…
The monodromy of torus bundles associated to completely integrable systems can be computed using geometric techniques (constructing homology cycles) or analytic arguments (computing discontinuities of abelian integrals). In this article we…
In this paper we use the gradient flow equation introduced in [10] to construct a Morse complex for the Hamiltonian action $\mathbb A_H$ on a mixed regularity space of loops in the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ of a closed manifold $M$.…
We consider a {\em Hamiltonian setup} $\sextuple$, where $(\mathcal M,\omega)$ is a symplectic manifold, $\mathfrak L$ is a distribution of Lagrangian subspaces in $\mathcal M$, $\mathcal P$ a Lagrangian submanifold of $ \mathcal M$, $H$ is…
In this paper, we describe Bohr-Sommerfeld rules for semi-classical completely integrable systems with 2 degrees of freedom with non degenerate singularities (Morse-Bott singularities) under the assumption that the energy level of the first…
In this note we study two index questions. In the first we establish the relationship between the Morse indices of the free time action functional and the fixed time action functional. The second is related to Rabinowitz Floer homology. Our…
We consider the classical momentum- or velocity-dependent two-dimensional Hamiltonian given by $$\mathcal H_N = p_1^2 + p_2^2 +\sum_{n=1}^N \gamma_n(q_1 p_1 + q_2 p_2)^n ,$$ where $q_i$ and $p_i$ are generic canonical variables, $\gamma_n$…
In his study of periodic orbits of the 3 body problem, Hill obtained a formula relating the characteristic polynomial of the monodromy matrix of a periodic orbit and an infinite determinant of the Hessian of the action functional. A…
Let dH be a Hamiltonian one form on the real plane, of degre d. We show that, if H is a Morse function, generic at infinity, then there exists a number N(d) depending only on d, such that every small perturbation of dH has at most N(d)…
