This paper constructs a Riemann surface associated to the icosahedron and discusses the geodesics associated to a flat metric on this surface. Because of the icosahedral symmetry, this is a distinguished special case of the example treated…

We study the system of first order PDEs for pseudo-Riemannian metrics governing the Hamiltonian formalism for systems of hydrodynamic type. In the diagonal setting the integrability conditions ensure the compatibility of this system and,…

We consider overdetermined systems of difference equations for a single function $u$ which are consistent, and propose a general framework for their analysis. The integrability of such systems is defined as the existence of higher order…

We prove that 1) diagonal systems of hydrodynamic type are Darboux integrable if and only if the corresponding systems for commuting flows are Darboux integrable, 2) systems for commuting flows are Darboux integrable if and only if the…

We show that Gutzwiller's characterization of chaotic Hamiltonian systems in terms of the curvature associated with a Riemannian metric tensor in the structure of the Hamiltonian can be extended to a wide class of potential models of…

For finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems derived from 1+1 dimensional integrable systems, if they have Lax representations, then the Lax operator creates a set of conserved integrals. When these conserved integrals are in involution, it…

Our goal is to combine the techniques of Xiaokui Yang, Valentino Tosatti, and others to establish a Liouville-type result for almost complex manifolds. The transition to the non-integrable setting is delicate, so we will devote a section to…

We review, restate, and prove a result due to Kaushal and Korsch [Phys. Lett. A 276, 47 (2000)] on the complete integrability of two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems whose Hamiltonian satisfies a set of four linear second order partial…

We briefly explain some simple arguments based on pseudo Hermiticity, supersymmetry and PT-symmetry which explain the reality of the spectrum of some non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Subsequently we employ PT-symmetry as a guiding principle to…

This paper develops second variational formulas and index forms in the context of Hermitian geometry. Building upon these analytical foundations, we establish results analogous to classical theorems in Riemannian geometry, including Myers'…

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…

In the example of the Schr\"odinger/KdV equation we give elementary treatment of the theory of finite-gap integration. The concept is equivalent to two kinds of Liouvillian integrability: quadrature integrability of linear differential…

Timelike Liouville theory admits the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ as a real saddle point, about which quantum fluctuations can occur. An issue occurs when computing the expectation values of specific types of quantities, like the distance…
