Understanding the dynamics of multi--dimensional conservative dynamical systems (Hamiltonian flows or symplectic maps) is a fundamental issue of non-linear science. The Generalized ALignment Index (GALI), which was recently introduced and…
In order to perform numerical studies of long-term stability in nonlinear Hamiltonian systems, one needs a numerical integration algorithm which is symplectic. Further, this algorithm should be fast and accurate. In this paper, we propose…

The important phenomenon of "stickiness" of chaotic orbits in low dimensional dynamical systems has been investigated for several decades, in view of its applications to various areas of physics, such as classical and statistical mechanics,…
We search for rational, four-dimensional maps of standard type (x_{n+1} - 2x_n + x_{n-1} = eps f(x,eps)) possessing one or two polynomial integrals. There are no non-trivial maps corresponding to cubic oscillators, but we find a…
Symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems have been quite successful for studying few-body dynamical systems. These integrators are frequently derived using a formalism built on symplectic maps. There have been recent efforts to extend…
The phase space is the natural ground to smoothly extrapolate between local and non-local correlation functions. With this objective, we introduce the symplectic tomography of many-body quantum gases in tight-waveguides, and concentrate on…
We consider an example of a system with two degrees of freedom admitting separation of variables but having a subset of codimension 1 on which the 2-form defining the symplectic structure degenerates. We show how to use separation of…
The presence of symmetries in a Hamiltonian system usually implies the existence of conservation laws that are represented mathematically in terms of the dynamical preservation of the level sets of a momentum mapping. The symplectic or…
