A Family of Integrable Differential-Difference Equations: Tri-Hamiltonian Structure and Lie Algebra of Vector Fields

Starting from a novel discrete spectral problem, a family of integrable differential-difference equations is derived through discrete zero curvature equation. And then, tri-Hamiltonian structure of the whole family is established by the discrete trace identity. It is shown that the obtained family is Liouville-integrable. Next, a nonisospectral integrable family associated with the discrete spectral problem is constructed through nonisospectral discrete zero curvature representation. Finally, Lie algebra of isospectral and nonisospectral vector fields is deduced.

Non-Integrability of the Kepler and the Two-Body Problems on the Heisenberg Group

The analog of the Kepler system defined on the Heisenberg group introduced by Montgomery and Shanbrom in [Fields Inst. Commun., Vol. 73, Springer, New York, 2015, 319-342, arXiv:1212.2713] is integrable on the zero level of the Hamiltonian. We show that in all other cases the system is not Liouville integrable due to the lack of additional meromorphic first integrals. We prove that the analog of the two-body problem on the Heisenberg group is not integrable in the Liouville sense.

New cosmological solutions in hybrid metric-Palatini gravity from dynamical symmetries

We investigate the existence of Liouville integrable cosmological models in hybrid metric-Palatini theory. Specifically, we use the symmetry conditions for the existence of quadratic in the momentum conservation laws for the field equations as constraint conditions for the determination of the unknown functional form of the theory. The exact and analytic solutions of the integrable systems found in this study are presented in terms of quadratics and Laurent expansions.

Non-integrability of the Kepler and the two body problem on the Heisenberg group

The analog of the Kepler system defined on the Heisenberg group introduced by Montgomery and Shanbrom (2015) is integrable on the zero level of the Hamiltonian. We show that in all other cases the system is not Liouville integrable due to the lack of additional meromorphic first integrals. We prove that the analog of the two body problem on the Heisenberg group is not integrable in the Liouville sense.

What Kind of Insight Provide Analytical Solutions of Quantum Models?

There are several concepts of what constitutes the analytical solution of a quantum model, as opposed to the mere “numerically exact” one. This applies even if one considers only the determination of the discrete spectrum of the corresponding Hamiltonian, setting aside such important questions as the asymptotic dynamics for long times. In the simplest case, the spectrum can be given in closed form, the eigenvalues $$E_{j}, j=0,\ldots ,N\le \infty $$ read $$E_{j} =f(j,\{p_{k}\})$$, where f is a known function of the label $$j\in \mathbb {N}_{0}$$ and the $$\{p_k\}$$ are a set of numbers parameterizing the Hamilton operator. This kind of solution exists only in cases where the classical limit of the model is Liouville-integrable. Some quantum-mechanical many-body systems allow the determination of the spectrum in terms of auxiliary parameters $$[\{k_j\},\{n_l\}]$$ as $$E(\{n_l\}) = f(\{k_{j}(\{n_{l}\})\})$$ where the $$\{k_{j}(\{n_{l}\})\}$$ satisfy a coupled set of transcendental equations, following from a certain ansatz for the eigenfunctions. These systems (integrable in the sense of Yang-Baxter (Eckle 2019)) may have a Hilbert space dimension growing exponentially with the system size L, i.e., $$N\sim e^{L}$$. The simple enumeration of the energies with the label j is replaced by the multi-index $$\{n_{l}\}$$. Although no priori knowledge about the spectrum is available, its statistical properties can be computed exactly (Berry and Tabor 1977). Other integrable and also non-integrable models exist where N depends polynomially on L and the energies $$E_j$$ are the zeroes of an analytically computable transcendental function, the so-called G-function $$G(E,\{p_k\})$$ (Braak 2013a, 2016), which is proportional to the spectral determinant. Although no closed formula for $$E_j$$ as function of the index j exists, detailed qualitative insight into the distribution of the eigenvalues can be obtained (Braak 2013b). Possible applications of these concepts to information compression and cryptography are outlined.

Quantum footprints of Liouville integrable systems

We discuss the problem of recovering geometric objects from the spectrum of a quantum integrable system. In the case of one degree of freedom, precise results exist. In the general case, we report on the recent notion of good labelings of asymptotic lattices.

Bifurcations of Liouville tori in a system of two vortices of positive intensity in a Bose-Einstein condensate

In this paper we consider a completely Liouville integrable Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom, which describes the dynamics of two vortex filaments in a Bose-Einstein condensate enclosed in a harmonic trap. For vortex pairs of positive intensity detected bifurcation of three Liouville tori into one. Such bifurcation was found in the integrable case of Goryachev-Chaplygin-Sretensky in the dynamics of a rigid body. For the integrable perturbation of the physical parameter of the intensity ratio, identified bifurcation proved to be unstable, which led to bifurcations of the type of two tori into one and vice versa.

The Liouvillian Integrability of Several Oscillators

In this paper, we characterize all the Liouvillian first integrals of a cubic polynomial differential system that contains the van der Pol and the Duffing oscillators. It is also shown that the centers correspond to the Liouville integrable cases.

LIOUVILLE INTEGRABLE REDUCTIONS OF THE ASSOCIATIVITY EQUATIONS ON THE SET OF STATIONARY POINTS OF AN INTEGRAL IN THE CASE OF THREE PRIMARY FIELDS

In this work, in the case of three primary fields, a reduction of the associativity equations (the Witten–Dijkgraaf–Verlinde–Verlinde system, see (Witten, 1990, Dijkgraaf et al., 1991, Dubrovin, 1994) with antidiagonal matrix ηij on the set of stationary points of a nondegenerate integral quadratic with respect to the first-order partial derivatives is constructed in an explicit form and its Liouville integrability is proved. In Mokhov’s paper (Mokhov, 1995, Mokhov, 1998), these associativity equations were presented in the form of an integrable nondiagonalizable system of hydrodynamic type. In the papers (Ferapontov, Mokhov, 1996, Ferapontov et al., 1997, Mokhov, 1998), a bi-Hamiltonian representation for these equations and a nondegenerate integral quadratic with respect to the first-order partial derivatives were found. Using Mokhov’s construction on canonical Hamiltonian property of an arbitrary evolutionary system on the set of stationary points of its nondegenerate integral of the papers (Mokhov, 1984, Mokhov, 1987), we construct explicitly the reduction for the integral quadratic with respect to the first-order partial derivatives, found explicitly the Hamiltonian of the corresponding canonical Hamiltonian system. We also found three functionally-independent integrals in involution with respect to the canonical Poisson bracket on the phase space for the constructed reduction of the associativity equations and thus proved the Liouville integrability of this reduction.
