Invariant metrics and Hamiltonian Systems
Via a non degenerate symmetric bilinear form we identify the coadjoint
representation with a new representation and so we induce on the orbits a
simplectic form. By considering Hamiltonian systems on the orbits we study some
features of them and finally find commuting functions under the corresponding
Lie-Poisson bracketComment: 16 pages corrected typos, changed contents (Prop. 3.4 and Theorem in

The free rigid body dynamics: generalized versus classic
In this paper we analyze the normal forms of a general quadratic Hamiltonian
system defined on the dual of the Lie algebra of real -
skew - symmetric matrices, where is an arbitrary real symmetric
matrix. A consequence of the main results is that any first-order autonomous
three-dimensional differential equation possessing two independent quadratic
constants of motion which admits a positive/negative definite linear
combination, is affinely equivalent to the classical "relaxed" free rigid body
dynamics with linear controls.Comment: 12 page
Correlated gene expression profiles in double insertional mutants of Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract In a qRT-PCR experiment, the expression levels of six genes from Drosophila melanogaster were studied in females of three transgenic lines symbolized l(3)S057302, DH2F31M1 and DH1F14M1. The considered genes are located in 3R chromosome and are as it follows: CG9805 (eIF3-S10), CG10272 (grappa), CG31349 (polychaetoid), CG11033, CG14709 and CG1528 (gammaCo
The quasi-bi-Hamiltonian formulation of the Lagrange top
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 show that the vector field of the Lagrange top possesses, on the
reduced phase space, a quasi-bi-Hamiltonian formulation, which provides a set
of separation variables for the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, LaTeX, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. Gen.

Small oscillations and the Heisenberg Lie algebra
The Adler Kostant Symes [A-K-S] scheme is used to describe mechanical systems
for quadratic Hamiltonians of on coadjoint orbits of the
Heisenberg Lie group. The coadjoint orbits are realized in a solvable Lie
algebra that admits an ad-invariant metric. Its quadratic induces
the Hamiltonian on the orbits, whose Hamiltonian system is equivalent to that
one on . This system is a Lax pair equation whose solution can
be computed with help of the Adjoint representation. For a certain class of
functions, the Poisson commutativity on the coadjoint orbits in
is related to the commutativity of a family of derivations of the
2n+1-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra . Therefore the complete
integrability is related to the existence of an n-dimensional abelian
subalgebra of certain derivations in . For instance, the motion
of n-uncoupled harmonic oscillators near an equilibrium position can be
described with this setting.Comment: 17 pages, it contains a theory about small oscillations in terms of

Global generalized solutions for Maxwell-alpha and Euler-alpha equations
We study initial-boundary value problems for the Lagrangian averaged alpha
models for the equations of motion for the corotational Maxwell and inviscid
fluids in 2D and 3D. We show existence of (global in time) dissipative
solutions to these problems. We also discuss the idea of dissipative solution
in an abstract Hilbert space framework.Comment: 27 pages, to appear in Nonlinearit
Integrable discretizations of some cases of the rigid body dynamics
A heavy top with a fixed point and a rigid body in an ideal fluid are
important examples of Hamiltonian systems on a dual to the semidirect product
Lie algebra . We give a Lagrangian derivation of
the corresponding equations of motion, and introduce discrete time analogs of
two integrable cases of these systems: the Lagrange top and the Clebsch case,
respectively. The construction of discretizations is based on the discrete time
Lagrangian mechanics on Lie groups, accompanied by the discrete time Lagrangian
reduction. The resulting explicit maps on are Poisson with respect to
the Lie--Poisson bracket, and are also completely integrable. Lax
representations of these maps are also found.Comment: arXiv version is already officia
Systems of Hess-Appel'rot type
We construct higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical
Hess-Appel'rot rigid body system. We give a Lax pair with a spectral parameter
leading to an algebro-geometric integration of this new class of systems, which
is closely related to the integration of the Lagrange bitop performed by us
recently and uses Mumford relation for theta divisors of double unramified
coverings. Based on the basic properties satisfied by such a class of systems
related to bi-Poisson structure, quasi-homogeneity, and conditions on the
Kowalevski exponents, we suggest an axiomatic approach leading to what we call
the "class of systems of Hess-Appel'rot type".Comment: 40 pages. Comm. Math. Phys. (to appear
