Although hydrogen in external fields is a paradigm for the application of periodic orbits and the Gutzwiller trace formula to a real system, the trace formula has never been applied successfully to other Rydberg atoms. We show that spectral…

Given a diffeomorphism of the plane, which has a periodic orbit, we show how Nielsen fixed point theory can be used to establish the existence of a fixed point which is linked with this periodic orbit.

We prove that, on a closed surface, a Lagrangian system defined by a Tonelli Lagrangian $L$ possesses a periodic orbit that is a local minimizer of the free-period action functional on every energy level belonging to the low range of…

A generalization of the Kepler's third law has been proposed by BoHua Sun for $N$-body periodic orbits in a Newtonian gravitation field. In this paper, it is shown that this formula can apply for a quantum system of $N$ self-gravitating…

We reconsider the classical problem of the continuation of degenerate periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems. In particular we focus on periodic orbits that arise from the breaking of a completely resonant maximal torus. We here propose a…

It is shown that all of the basic properties of the hydrogen atom can be consistently described in terms of classical electrodynamics instead of taking the electron to be a particle; we consider an electrically charged classical wave field,…

Lorenz equations were first presented in 1963 by Edward Lorenz, they depend on three real positive parameters. For some of these parameters which are called T-points, there are two heteroclinic orbits connecting the three singular points in…

We consider the periodic model introduced in [20] and disprove the conjectures on the number of periodic orbits the model can have. We rebuild the conjecture to prove that for periodic sequences of maps of any period, the number of non-zero…

The existence of a maximal acceleration for massive objects was conjectured by Caianiello 30 years ago based on the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Many consequences of this hypothesis have been studied, but until now, there has been no…

Quantum theory dictates that upon weakening the two-body interaction in a three-body system, an infinite number of three-body bound states of a huge spatial extent emerge just before these three-body states become unbound. Three helium…

In this paper, we study the planar circular restricted three-body problem for energy levels slightly above the first critical value. We first observe that the energy hypersurfaces in the Birkhoff regularization corresponding to these energy…

Hamiltonian dynamical systems tend to have infinitely many periodic orbits. For example, for a broad class of symplectic manifolds almost all levels of a proper smooth Hamiltonian carry periodic orbits. The Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture is…

A systematic study of closed classical orbits of the hydrogen atom in crossed electric and magnetic fields is presented. We develop a local bifurcation theory for closed orbits which is analogous to the well-known bifurcation theory for…
