On algebraic construction of certain integrable and super-integrable systems
We propose a new construction of two-dimensional natural bi-Hamiltonian
systems associated with a very simple Lie algebra. The presented construction
allows us to distinguish three families of super-integrable monomial potentials
for which one additional first integral is quadratic, and the second one can be
of arbitrarily high degree with respect to the momenta. Many integrable systems
with additional integrals of degree greater than two in momenta are given.
Moreover, an example of a super-integrable system with first integrals of
degree two, four and six in the momenta is found.Comment: 37 page
The Poisson equations in the nonholonomic Suslov problem: Integrability, meromorphic and hypergeometric solutions
We consider the problem of integrability of the Poisson equations describing
spatial motion of a rigid body in the classical nonholonomic Suslov problem. We
obtain necessary conditions for their solutions to be meromorphic and show that
under some further restrictions these conditions are also sufficient. The
latter lead to a family of explicit meromorphic solutions, which correspond to
rather special motions of the body in space. We also give explicit extra
polynomial integrals in this case.
In the more general case (but under one restriction), the Poisson equations
are transformed into a generalized third order hypergeometric equation. A study
of its monodromy group allows us also to calculate the "scattering" angle: the
angle between the axes of limit permanent rotations of the body in space

Sphere rolling on the surface of a cone
We analyse the motion of a sphere that rolls without slipping on a conical
surface having its axis in the direction of the constant gravitational field of
the Earth. This nonholonomic system admits a solution in terms of quadratures.
We exhibit that the only circular of the system orbit is stable and furthermore
show that all its solutions can be found using an analogy with central force
problems. We also discuss the case of motion with no gravitational field, that
is, of motion on a freely falling cone.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, to be published in Eur J Phy
Necessary conditions for classical super-integrability of a certain family of potentials in constant curvature spaces
We formulate the necessary conditions for the maximal super-integrability of
a certain family of classical potentials defined in the constant curvature
two-dimensional spaces. We give examples of homogeneous potentials of degree -2
on as well as their equivalents on and for which these
necessary conditions are also sufficient. We show explicit forms of the
additional first integrals which always can be chosen polynomial with respect
to the momenta and which can be of an arbitrary high degree with respect to the
momenta
Darboux points and integrability of homogeneous Hamiltonian systems with three and more degrees of freedom
We consider natural complex Hamiltonian systems with degrees of freedom
given by a Hamiltonian function which is a sum of the standard kinetic energy
and a homogeneous polynomial potential of degree . The well known
Morales-Ramis theorem gives the strongest known necessary conditions for the
Liouville integrability of such systems. It states that for each there
exists an explicitly known infinite set \scM_k\subset\Q such that if the
system is integrable, then all eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix V''(\vd)
calculated at a non-zero \vd\in\C^n satisfying V'(\vd)=\vd, belong to
\scM_k. The aim of this paper is, among others, to sharpen this result. Under
certain genericity assumption concerning we prove the following fact. For
each and there exists a finite set \scI_{n,k}\subset\scM_k such that
if the system is integrable, then all eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix
V''(\vd) belong to \scI_{n,k}. We give an algorithm which allows to find
sets \scI_{n,k}. We applied this results for the case and we found
all integrable potentials satisfying the genericity assumption. Among them
several are new and they are integrable in a highly non-trivial way. We found
three potentials for which the additional first integrals are of degree 4 and 6
with respect to the momenta.Comment: 54 pages, 1 figur
