We give a natural definition of geodesics on a Riemannian supermanifold and extend the usual geodesic flow defined on the cotangent bundle of the body of the supermanifold, associated to the induced Riemannian structure on the body, to a…
A general scheme for determining and studying integrable deformations of algebraic curves is presented. The method is illustrated with the analysis of the hyperelliptic case. An associated multi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of systems of…
We use a recent formalism of quantum geodesics in noncommutative geometry to construct geodesic flow on the infinite chain $\cdots\bullet$--$\bullet$--$\bullet\cdots$. We find that noncommutative effects due to the discretisation of the…
Normal geodesic flows flows of Carnot-Caratheodory are discussed from the point of view of the theory of Hamiltonian systems. The geodesic flows corresponding to left-invariant metrics and left- and -right-invariant rank 2 distributions on…
We explicitely construct an example of an analytic metric on $T^2$ which is non-separable but it is locally integrable on an energy surface. The construction is based on a KAM-like approach and a careful control on what happens on the…
We study periodic infinite billiards in the plane. We show that for rational models, some particular obstacles can be added periodically, so that the billiard flow in the resulting table is recurrent in almost every direction.
Determining the flow of rays or particles driven by a force or velocity field is fundamental to modelling many physical processes, including weather forecasting and the simulation of molecular dynamics. High frequency wave energy…
We consider magnetic billiards under a strong constant magnetic field. The purpose of this paper is two-folded. We examine the question of existence of polynomial integral of billiard magnetic flow. We succeed to reduce this question to…
The gradient-flow equations with respect to the potential functions in information geometry are reconsidered from the perspective of the Weyl integrable geometry. The pre-geodesic equations associated with the gradient-flow equations are…
This work presents a framework for billiards in convex domains on two dimensional Riemannian manifolds. These domains are contained in connected, simply connected open subsets which are totally normal. In this context, some basic properties…
Adapting Lindstr\"om's well-known construction, we consider a wide class of functions which are generated by flows in a planar acyclic directed graph whose vertices (or edges) take weights in an arbitrary commutative semiring. We give a…
In the framework laid down by Matveev and Shevchishin, superintegrability is achieved with one integral linear in the momenta (a Killing vector) and two extra integrals of of any degree above two in the momenta. However these extra…
We study Riemannian metrics on 2-surfaces with integrable geodesic flows such that an additional first integral is high-degree polynomial in momenta. This problem reduces to searching for solutions to certain quasi-linear systems of PDEs…
Given a smooth compact surface without focal points and of higher genus, it is shown that its geodesic flow is semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow with a local product structure such that the semi-conjugation preserves…
A certain class of partial differential equations possesses singular solutions having discontinuous first derivatives ("peakons"). The time evolution of peaks of such solutions is governed by a finite dimensional completely integrable…
We investigate a connection between the complex landslide flow, defined on a pair of Teichm\"uller spaces, and the integrable system approach to harmonic maps into a symmetric space. We will prove that the holonomy of the complex landslide…
Almost nothing is known concerning the extension of $3$-dimensional Kronecker--Weyl equidistribution theorem on geodesic flow from the unit torus $[0,1)^3$ to non-integrable finite polycube translation $3$-manifolds. In the special case…
We use the relation between the volumes of the strata of meromorphic quadratic differentials with at most simple poles on the Riemann sphere and counting functions of the number of (bands of) closed geodesics in associated flat metrics with…
To capture a multidimensional consistency feature of integrable systems in terms of the geometry, we give a condition called \emph{geodesic compatibility} that implies the existence of integrals in involution of the geodesic flow. The…
This paper studies a certain completely integrable discretization of the KP hierarchy. This was constructed by Gieseker in \cite{Gie1}, from certain algebro-geometric data. This paper has the dual aim of showing that this construction is…
