Noether's theorem relates constants of motion to the symmetries of the system. Here we investigate a manifestation of Noether's theorem in non-Hermitian systems, where the inner product is defined differently from quantum mechanics. In this…
We show that every parabolic orbit of a two-degree of freedom integrable system admits a $C^\infty$-smooth Hamiltonian circle action, which is persistent under small integrable $C^\infty$ perturbations. We deduce from this result the…
Chaplygin anisotropic matter governing the cosmological evolution in two identical universes with an intermediate static spherically symmetric region is considered. The static region contains a wormhole allowing one to pass etween two…
We consider coupled nonholonomic LR systems on the product of Lie groups. As examples, we study $n$-dimensional variants of the spherical support system and the rubber Chaplygin sphere. For a special choice of the inertia operator, it is…
Affine transformations in Euclidean space generates a correspondence between integrable systems on cotangent bundles to the sphere, ellipsoid and hyperboloid embedded in $R^n$. Using this correspondence and the suitable coupling constant…
We consider the motion of rigid bodies in a potential fluid subject to certain nonholonomic constraints and show that it is described by Euler--Poincar\'e--Suslov equations. In the 2-dimensional case, when the constraint is realized by a…
The motion of a pair of counter-rotating point vortices placed in a uniform flow around a circular cylinder forms a rich nonlinear system that is often used to model vortex shedding. The phase portrait of the Hamiltonian governing the…
We investigate the dynamics of a sliding top that is a rigid body with an ideal sharp tip moving in a perfectly smooth horizontal plane, so no friction forces act on the body. We prove that this system is integrable only in two cases…
We prove that the Ziegler pendulum -- a double pendulum with a follower force -- can be integrable, provided that the stiffness of the elastic spring located at the pivot point of the pendulum is zero and there is no friction in the system.…
The article considers Chaplygin sleigh on a plane in potential well, assuming that an external potential force is supplied at the mass center. Two particular cases are studied in some detail, namely, a one-dimensional potential valley and a…
The reduced system in the Clebsch problem of the motion of a rigid body in fluid treated as the motion of a rigid body about its fixed mass center in a central Newtonian field with zero value of the area integral is a completely integrable…
There are several well-known characterizations of the sphere as a regular surface in the Euclidean space. By means of a purely synthetic technique, we get a rigidity result for the sphere without any curvature conditions, nor completeness…
The reduced system in the problem of the inertial motion of a rigid body with a fixed point (the Euler case) is equivalent, by the Maupertuis principle, to some geodesic flow on the 2-sphere. We describe the phase topology of this case…
We obtain bi-Hamiltonian structure for a family of integrable systems on the sphere S with an additional integral of third order in momenta. These results are applied to the Goryachev system and Goryachev-Chaplygin top for which we give an…
We verify a conjecture proposed by X. Chen and Y. Shi, which arises from their study of the Green function on spheres in Euclidean space. More precisely, let $M\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a closed $C^{2}$ embedded surface and suppose that…
The Lie-Poisson algebra so(N+1) and some of its contractions are used to construct a family of superintegrable Hamiltonians on the ND spherical, Euclidean, hyperbolic, Minkowskian and (anti-)de Sitter spaces. We firstly present a…
The Neumann and Chaplygin systems on the sphere are simultaneously separable in variables obtained from the standard elliptic coordinates by the proper Backlund transformation. We also prove that after similar Backlund transformations other…
The purpose of this paper is to compare a classical non-holonomic system---a sphere rolling against the inner surface of a vertical cylinder under gravity---and a class of discrete dynamical systems known as no-slip billiards in similar…
We analyze the global nonlinear stability of FRW (Friedmann-Robertson-Walker) spacetimes in presence of an irrotational perfect fluid. We assume that the fluid is governed by the so-called (generalized) Chaplygin equation of state relating…
For 2D compressible isentropic Euler equations of polytropic gases, when the rotationally invariant data are a perturbation of size $\ve>0$ of a rest state, S.~Alinhac in \cite{Alinhac92} and \cite{Alinhac93} establishes that the smooth…
