Bäcklund transformations for the Kirchhoff top.
A relationship between jacobian maps and the commutativity properties of suitable couples of hamiltonian vector fields is studied. A theorem by Meisters and Olech is extended to the nonpolynomial case. A property implying the Jacobian Conjecture in ℝ² is described.
It is shown how to extend the formal variational calculus in order to incorporate integrals of divergences into it. Such a generalization permits to study nontrivial boundary problems in field theory on the base of canonical formalism.
This note deals with Lagrangian fibrations of elliptic K3 surfaces and the associated Hamiltonian monodromy. The fibration is constructed through the Weierstraß normal form of elliptic surfaces. There is given an example of K3 dynamical models with the identity monodromy matrix around 12 elementary singular loci.
