Starting from the tri-Hamiltonian formulation of the Lagrange top in a six-dimensional phase space, we discuss the possible reductions of the Poisson tensors, the vector field and its Hamiltonian functions on a four-dimensional space. We…
The Separation of Variables theory for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is 'by definition' related to the use of special kinds of coordinates, for example Jacobi coordinates on the ellipsoid or St\"ackel systems in the Euclidean space. However,…
A symplectic-Haantjes manifold and a Poisson-Haantjes manifold for the Lagrange top are studied and a set of Darboux-Haantjes coordinates are computed. Such coordinates are separation variables for the associated Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
Given a fibration of a symplectic manifold by lagrangian tori, we show that each symplectic vector field splits into two parts : the first is Hamiltonian and the second is symplectic and preserves the fibration. We then show an application…
On a manifold equipped with a bivector field, we introduce for every Hamiltonian a Lagrangian on paths valued in the cotangent space whose stationary points projects onto Hamiltonian vector fields. We show that the remaining components of…
In this paper the geometric theory of separation of variables for time-independent Hamilton-Jacobi equation is extended to include the case of complex eigenvalues of a Killing tensor on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. This task is performed…
We perform a Hamiltonian analysis of a large class of scalar-tensor Lagrangians which depend quadratically on the second derivatives of a scalar field. By resorting to a convenient choice of dynamical variables, we show that the Hamiltonian…
For the rational, elliptic and trigonometric r-matrices, we exhibit the links between three "levels" of Poisson spaces: (a) Some finite-dimensional spaces of matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the complex line; (b) Spaces of spectral…
We discuss from a bi-Hamiltonian point of view the Hamilton-Jacobi separability of a few dynamical systems. They are shown to admit, in their natural phase space, a quasi-bi-Hamiltonian formulation of Pfaffian type. This property allows us…
We classify all the quadratic Poisson structures on $so^*(4)$ and $e^*(3)$, which have the same foliation by symplectic leaves as the canonical Lie-Poisson tensors. The separated variables for the some of the corresponding bi-integrable…
This survey examines separation of variables for algebraically integrable Hamiltonian systems whose tori are Jacobians of Riemann surfaces. For these cases there is a natural class of systems which admit separations in a nice geometric…
We consider three different incompatible bi-Hamiltonian structures for the Lagrange top, which have the same foliation by symplectic leaves. These bivectors may be associated with the different 2-coboundaries in the Poisson-Lichnerowicz…
We address the problem of the separation of variables for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation within the theoretical scheme of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We use the properties of a special class of bi-Hamiltonian manifolds, called omega-N manifolds,…
We show that for a class of dynamical systems, Hamiltonian with respect to three distinct Poisson brackets (P_0, P_1, P_2), separation coordinates are provided by the common roots of a set of bivariate polynomials. These polynomials, which…
We present a general classification of Hamiltonian multivector fields and of Poisson forms on the extended multiphase space appearing in the geometric formulation of first order classical field theories. This is a prerequisite for computing…
We discuss a non-Hamiltonian vector field appearing in consideration of a partial motion of the Chaplygin ball rolling on a horizontal plane which rotates with constant angular velocity. In two partial cases this vector field is expressed…
We study Lie-Hamilton systems on the plane, i.e. systems of first-order differential equations describing the integral curves of a $t$-dependent vector field taking values in a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra of planar Hamiltonian…
The Hamilton-Jacobi problem is revisited bearing in mind the consequences arising from a possible bi-Hamiltonian structure. The problem is formulated on the tangent bundle for Lagrangian systems in order to avoid the bias of the existence…
In this paper we will review a recently introduced method for solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equations by the method of Separation of Variables. This method is based on the notion of pencil of Poisson brackets and on the bihamiltonian approach…
The notion of homogeneous tensors is discussed. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between multivector fields on a manifold $M$, homogeneous with respect to a vector field $\Delta$ on $M$, and first-order polydifferential…
