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 Quantum Birkhoff Normal Form and Spectral Asymptotics

San Vũ Ngọc (2006)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

In this talk we explain a simple treatment of the quantum Birkhoff normal form for semiclassical pseudo-differential operators with smooth coefficients. The normal form is applied to describe the discrete spectrum in a generalised non-degenerate potential well, yielding uniform estimates in the energy E . This permits a detailed study of the spectrum in various asymptotic regions of the parameters ( E , ) , and gives improvements and new proofs for many of the results in the field. In the completely resonant...

Toric structures on near-symplectic 4-manifolds

David T. Gay, Margaret Symington (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A near-symplectic structure on a 4-manifold is a closed 2-form that is symplectic away from the 1-dimensional submanifold along which it vanishes and that satisfies a certain transversality condition along this vanishing locus. We investigate near-symplectic 4-manifolds equipped with singular Lagrangian torus fibrations which are locally induced by effective Hamiltonian torus actions. We show how such a structure is completely characterized by a singular integral affine structure on the base of...
