Tensor fields defining a tangent bundle structure
We show that the Birkhoff normal form near a positive definite KAM torus is given by the function of Mather. This observation is due to Siburg [Si2], [Si1] in dimension 2. It clarifies the link between the Birkhoff invariants and the action spectrum near the torus. Our extension to high dimension is made possible by a simplification of the proof given in [Si2].
We confirm a conjecture of Bernstein–Lunts which predicts that the characteristic variety of a generic polynomial vector field has no homogeneous involutive subvarieties besides the zero section and subvarieties of fibers over singular points.
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,...
Several examples of gaps (lacunes) between dimensions of maximal and submaximal symmetric models are considered, which include investigation of number of independent linear and quadratic integrals of metrics and counting the symmetries of geometric structures and differential equations. A general result clarifying this effect in the case when the structure is associated to a vector distribution, is proposed.
By using the Seiberg-Witten invariant we show that the region under the Noether line in the lattice domain is covered by minimal, simply connected, symplectic 4-manifolds.
We give a geometric construction of the phase space of the elliptic Calogero-Moser system for arbitrary root systems, as a space of Weyl invariant pairs (bundles, Higgs fields) on the -th power of the elliptic curve, where is the rank of the root system. The Poisson structure and the Hamiltonians of the integrable system are given natural constructions. We also exhibit a curious duality between the spectral varieties for the system associated to a root system, and the Lagrangian varieties for...
