The Darboux theorem on plane trajectories of two-parametric space motions

Adolf Karger (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper contains the proof of the classification theorem for two-parametric space motions with at least 5 points with plane trajectories. The proof is based on [1] and on the cannonical form of a certain tensor of order 3. The second part of the paper deals with the problem of plane trajectories from the differential-geometrical point of view. Some applications are given.

The degenerate C. Neumann system I: symmetry reduction and convexity

Holger Dullin, Heinz Hanßmann (2012)

Open Mathematics

The C. Neumann system describes a particle on the sphere S n under the influence of a potential that is a quadratic form. We study the case that the quadratic form has ℓ +1 distinct eigenvalues with multiplicity. Each group of m σ equal eigenvalues gives rise to an O(m σ)-symmetry in configuration space. The combined symmetry group G is a direct product of ℓ + 1 such factors, and its cotangent lift has an Ad*-equivariant momentum mapping. Regular reduction leads to the Rosochatius system on S ℓ,...

The Dehn functions of O u t ( F n ) and A u t ( F n )

Martin R. Bridson, Karen Vogtmann (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For n at least 3, the Dehn functions of O u t ( F n ) and A u t ( F n ) are exponential. Hatcher and Vogtmann proved that they are at most exponential, and the complementary lower bound in the case n = 3 was established by Bridson and Vogtmann. Handel and Mosher completed the proof by reducing the lower bound for n bigger than 3 to the case n = 3 . In this note we give a shorter, more direct proof of this last reduction.
