In this paper, we revisit and complete our preceding work on the Fokker Lagrangian describing the dynamics of compact binary systems at the fourth post-Newtonian (4PN) order in harmonic coordinates. We clarify the impact of the non-local…
Classical trajectories are calculated for two Hamiltonian systems with ring shaped potentials. Both systems are super-integrable, but not maximally super-integrable, having four globally defined single valued integrals of motion each. All…
We develop a framework based on energy kicks for the evolution of high-eccentricity long-period orbits with Jacobi constant close to 3 in the restricted circular planar three-body problem where the secondary and primary masses have mass…
In the study of Hamiltonian systems on cotangent bundles, it is natural to perturb Hamiltoni-ans by adding potentials (functions depending only on the base point). This led to the definition of Ma{\~n}{\'e} genericity: a property is generic…
On any closed Riemannian 3-manifold which is not a torus bundle, every nonvanishing analytic solution of the stationary Euler equations has a periodic trajectory. This result is originally due to A. Rechtman (arXiv:0904.2719) and K.…
We numerically discovered around 100 distinct nonrelativistic collisionless periodic three-body orbits in the Coulomb potential in vacuo, with vanishing angular momentum, for equal-mass ions with equal absolute values of charges. These…
It has long been conjectured that generic dynamical systems has finite periodic orbits, ever since the time of Poincar\'e. In this article, a perturbation method is proposed for the $C^r$ closing of periodic orbits. This method is…
This paper investigates the global structures of periodic orbits that appear in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, which is modeled by a two-dimensional perturbed Hamiltonian model, by focusing upon resonance, symmetry and bifurcation of the…
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…
We prove a criterion for Benjamini-Schramm convergence of periodic orbits of Lie groups. This general observation is then applied to homogeneous spaces and the space of translation surfaces.
The flow of a $k$-cooperative system maps the set of vectors with up to~$(k-1)$ sign variations to itself. Strongly $2$-cooperative systems satisfy a strong \Poincare-Bendixson property: any bounded solution that evolves in a compact set…
We prove that for a certain class of closed monotone symplectic manifolds any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with a hyperbolic fixed point must necessarily have infinitely many periodic orbits. Among the manifolds in this class are complex…
Continuum mechanics can be formulated in the Lagrangian frame (addressing motion of individual continuum particles) or in the Eulerian frame (addressing evolution of fields in an inertial frame). There is a canonical Hamiltonian structure…
Under weaker regularity and compactness assumptions, we find the mountain-pass essential point, which is a novel extension of the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz mountain pass theorem. We study the reversible superquadratic autonomous…
In the helium case of the classical Coulomb three-body problem in two dimensions with zero angular momentum, we develop a procedure to find periodic orbits applying two symbolic dynamics for one-dimensional and planar problems. A sequence…
This is (mainly) a survey of recent results on the problem of the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms and Reeb flows. We focus on the Conley conjecture, proved for a broad class of closed symplectic…
We prove that either there exists at least one hamilton periodic orbit in a given energy close smooth hypersurface or there exist at least two hamilton periodic orbits in a near-by energy close smooth hypersurface. More general results also…
We give an algebraic characterization of when a $d$-dimensional periodic framework has no non-trivial, symmetry preserving, motion for any choice of periodicity lattice. Our condition is decidable, and we provide a simple algorithm that…
We establish a general criterion for the existence of finite energy foliations on contact three-manifolds with boundary, imposing strong global constraints on the associated Reeb flows. Our main abstract result shows that a configuration of…
An open issue in classical relativistic mechanics is the consistent treatment of the dynamics of classical $N$-body systems of mutually-interacting particles. This refers, in particular, to charged particles subject to EM interactions,…
