We consider the classical momentum- or velocity-dependent two-dimensional Hamiltonian given by $$\mathcal H_N = p_1^2 + p_2^2 +\sum_{n=1}^N \gamma_n(q_1 p_1 + q_2 p_2)^n ,$$ where $q_i$ and $p_i$ are generic canonical variables, $\gamma_n$…

We prove that the existence of a Haantjes structure is a necessary and sufficient condition for a Hamiltonian system to be integrable in the Liouville-Arnold sense. This structure, expressed in terms of suitable operators whose Haantjes…
A tensorial approach to the theory of classical Hamiltonian integrable systems is proposed, based on the geometry of Haantjes tensors. We introduce the class of symplectic-Haantjes manifolds (or $\omega \mathscr{H}$ manifolds), as a natural…
We introduce the notion of Haantjes algebra: It consists of an assignment of a family of operator fields on a differentiable manifold, each of them with vanishing Haantjes torsion. They are also required to satisfy suitable compatibility…

We propose a new, infinite class of brackets generalizing the Fr\"olicher--Nijenhuis bracket. This class can be reduced to a family of generalized Nijenhuis torsions recently introduced. In particular, the Haantjes bracket, the first…
The Hamiltonian formulation plays the essential role in constructing the framework of modern physics. In this paper, a new form of canonical equations of Hamilton with the complete symmetry is obtained, which are valid not only for the…
A study is presented of superintegrable quantum systems in two-dimensional Euclidean space $E_2$ allowing the separation of variables in Cartesian coordinates. In addition to the Hamiltonian $H$ and the second order integral of motion $X$,…

We are concerned with the dynamics of $N$ point vortices $z_1,\dots,z_N\in\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ in a planar domain. This is described by a Hamiltonian system \[ \Gamma_k\dot{z}_k(t)=J\nabla_{z_k} H\big(z(t)\big),\quad k=1,\dots,N, \]…
The notion of Jacobi-Haantjes manifold, consisting of a Jacobi manifold endowed with an algebra of extended Haantjes operator fields, is proposed as a natural geometric framework which allows us to define the notion of integrability of both…
We briefly recall the history of the Nijenhuis torsion of (1,1)-tensors on manifolds and of the lesser-known Haantjes torsion. We then show how the Haantjes manifolds of Magri and the symplectic-Haantjes structures of Tempesta and Tondo…
The theory of generalized Nijenhuis torsions, which extends the classical notions due to Nijenhuis and Haantjes, offers new tools for the study of normal forms of operator fields. We propose a general result ensuring that, given a family of…
A conservative Newton system (d/dt)^2 q = -grad V(q) in R^n is called separable when the Hamilton--Jacobi equation for the natural Hamiltonian H = (1/2) p^2 + V(q) can be solved through separation of variables in some curvilinear…
Generalized symmetries often appear in the form of emergent symmetries in low energy effective descriptions of quantum many-body systems. Non-invertible symmetries are a particularly exotic class of generalized symmetries, in that they are…
We consider the differential equation that Zernike proposed to classify aberrations of wavefronts in a circular pupil, as if it were a classical Hamiltonian with a non-standard potential. The trajectories turn out to be closed ellipses. We…
