Symmetry problems 2

N. S. Hoang, A. G. Ramm (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Some symmetry problems are formulated and solved. New simple proofs are given for some symmetry problems studied earlier. One of the results is as follows: if a single-layer potential of a surface, homeomorphic to a sphere, with a constant charge density, is equal to c/|x| for all sufficiently large |x|, where c > 0 is a constant, then the surface is a sphere.

Systems of rays in the presence of distribution of hyperplanes

S. Janeczko (1995)

Banach Center Publications

Horizontal systems of rays arise in the study of integral curves of Hamiltonian systems v H on T*X, which are tangent to a given distribution V of hyperplanes on X. We investigate the local properties of systems of rays for general pairs (H,V) as well as for Hamiltonians H such that the corresponding Hamiltonian vector fields v H are horizontal with respect to V. As an example we explicitly calculate the space of horizontal geodesics and the corresponding systems of rays for the canonical distribution...
