We reconsider non-degenerate second order superintegrable systems in dimension two as geometric structures on conformal surfaces. This extends a formalism developed by the authors, initially introduced for (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds of…
We consider multidimensional gravitational models with a nonlinear scalar curvature term and form fields in the action functional. In our scenario it is assumed that the higher dimensional spacetime undergoes a spontaneous compactification…
We summarise the recent theoretical progress in few-body descriptions of the piNN system. Previous descriptions, both three- and four-dimensional, are shown to possess serious theoretical inconsistencies. We illustrate how three-dimensional…
We generalize the Newtonian n-body problem to spaces of curvature k=constant, and study the motion in the 2-dimensional case. For k>0, the equations of motion encounter non-collision singularities, which occur when two bodies are antipodal.…
The topic of this article is the numerical search of codimension 2 Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifolds (NHIM) in Hamiltonian systems with 3 degrees of freedom and their internal dynamics. We point out relations between different…
Intrinsic nonlinear elasticity deals with the deformations of elastic bodies as isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds into the Euclidean spaces (see Ciarlet [9,10]). In this paper, we study the rigidity and continuity properties of…
A novel Hamiltonian system in n dimensions which admits the maximal number 2n-1 of functionally independent, quadratic first integrals is presented. This system turns out to be the first example of a maximally superintegrable Hamiltonian on…
The paper develops and studies a very general notion of dichotomy, referred to as "nonuniform $(h,k,\mu,\nu)$-dichotomy". The new notion contains as special cases most versions of dichotomy existing in the literature. The paper then…
We consider the problem of motion of a rigid body about a fixed point under the action of an axisymmetric combination of potential and gyroscopic forces. We introduce a new integrable case, valid on zero level of the cyclic integral, that…
We consider relativistic hydrodynamics in the limit where the number of spatial dimensions is very large. We show that under certain restrictions, the resulting equations of motion simplify significantly. Holographic theories in a large…
A solution of the n-body problem in R^d is a relative equilibrium if all of the mutual distance between the bodies are constant. In other words, the bodies undergo a rigid motion. Here we investigate the possibility of partially rigid…
The general integrability cases in the rigid-body dynamics are the solutions of Lagrange, Euler, Kovalevskaya, and Goryachev-Chaplygin. The first two can be included in Smale's scheme for studying the phase topology of natural systems with…
Two-body and three-body systems of scalar bosons are considered in the framework of covariant constraint dynamics. The reduced equation obtained after eliminating redundant degrees of freedom can be viewed as an eigenvalue equation for an…
In this paper, we present a collection of infinite-dimensional systems with nonholonomic constraints. In finite dimensions the two essentially different types of dynamics, nonholonomic or vakonomic ones, are known to be obtained by taking…
Rigidity conditions for a body considered as a discrete system of relativistic particles are proposed. They by themselves do not yet determine an evolution of the system, and some second-order equations must be added to them.…
We present a model for the dynamics of elastic or poroelastic bodies with monopolar repulsive long-range (electrostatic) interactions at large strains. Our model respects (only) locally the non-self-interpenetration condition but can cope…
Nonholonomic systems are variational models commonly used for mechanical systems with ideal no-slip constraints. This note provides a differential-geometric derivation of the nonholonomic equations of motion for an arbitrary rigid body…
For dynamical systems of dimension three or more the question of integrability or nonintegrability is extended by the possibility of chaotic behaviour in the general solution. We determine the integrability of isotropic cosmological models…
A non-commutative multi-dimensional cosmological model is introduced and used to address the issues of compactification and stabilization of extra dimensions and the cosmological constant problem. We show that in such a scenario these…
This paper is concerned with the nonholonomic Suslov problem and its generalization proposed by Chaplygin. The issue of the existence of an invariant measure with singular density (having singularities at some points of phase space) is…
