We discuss from a bi-Hamiltonian point of view the Hamilton-Jacobi separability of a few dynamical systems. They are shown to admit, in their natural phase space, a quasi-bi-Hamiltonian formulation of Pfaffian type. This property allows us…

Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble. Classically this is the manifold of all points in the $N-$body phase space with the given total energy. Due to Boltzmann's principle,…

Studying the behaviour of a quantum field in a classical, curved, spacetime is an extraordinary task which nobody is able to take on at present time. Independently by the fact that such problem is not likely to be solved soon, still we…
