Concave Toric Domains in Stark-type Mechanical Systems

Abstract

It has been shown in [Frauenfelder, 2023] that the bounded component of the energy surface of the planer Stark problem after the Levi-Civita transformation are concave toric domains. In this paper, we present a different approach on the problem of determining concave toric domains in a family of integrable natural mechanical problems in the plane based on the computation of action-variables. We give criteria on the potentials for the bounded components of the energy hypersurfaces to be concave toric domains and apply these criteria to a class of problems.Comment: 12 pages, no figur
