We give an exact quantitative solution for the motion of three vortices of any strength, which Poincar\'e showed to be integrable. The absolute motion of one vortex is generally biperiodic: in uniformly rotating axes, the motion is…
This paper studies the reduced dynamics of the three-vortex problem from the point of view of Lie-Poisson reduction on the dual of the Lie algebra of $ U(2) $. The algebraic study leading to this point of view has been given by Borisov and…

We study rotation of invariant vectors in tensor products of minuscule representations. We define a combinatorial notion of rotation of minuscule Littelmann paths. Using affine Grassmannians, we show that this rotation action is realized…

The motion of a rolling ball actuated by internal point masses that move inside the ball's frame of reference is considered. The equations of motion are derived by applying Euler-Poincar\'e's symmetry reduction method in concert with…
We study point particles in 2+1 dimensional first order gravity using a triangulation to fix the connection and frame-field. The Hamiltonian is reduced to a boundary term which yields the total mass. The triangulation is dynamical with…
The closedness of orbits of central forces is addressed in a three dimensional space in which the Poisson bracket among the coordinates is that of the SU(2) Lie algebra. In particular it is shown that among problems with spherically…
Using the Jordan-Schwinger form of the quantum angular momentum eigenstates, it is straight-forward to define rotational correlation tables such that the columns are Molien sequences for finite rotational subgroup $G$. This realization…
The two full body problem concerns the dynamics of two spatially extended rigid bodies (e.g. rocky asteroids) subject to mutual gravitational interaction. In this note we deduce the Euler-Poincare and Hamiltonian equations of motion using…
Many-body Hilbert space is a functional vector space with the natural structure of an algebra, in which vector multiplication is ordinary multiplication of wave functions. This algebra is finite-dimensional, with exactly $N!^{d-1}$…
The kinematics of a robot manipulator are described in terms of the mapping connecting its joint space and the 6-dimensional Euclidean group of motions $SE(3)$. The associated Jacobian matrices map into its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{se}(3)$,…
