Global Aspects of Classical Integrable Systems

Beschreibung

This book gives a uniquely complete description of the geometry of the energy momentum mapping of five classical integrable systems: the 2-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the geodesic flow on the 3-sphere, the Euler top, the spherical pendulum and the Lagrange top. It presents for the first time in book form a general theory of symmetry reduction which allows one to reduce the symmetries in the spherical pendulum and the Lagrange top. Also the monodromy obstruction to the existence of global action angle coordinates is calculated for the spherical pendulum and the Lagrange top. The book addresses professional mathematicians and graduate students and can be used as a textbook on advanced classical mechanics or global analysis.

This book gives a complete global geometric description of the motion of the two dimensional harmonic oscillator, the Kepler problem, the Euler top, the spherical pendulum and the Lagrange top This book is necessary because the standard treatments are not complete Main goal of this book is to understand the global geometric features of our model integrable systems Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
