Symplectic topology of integrable Hamiltonian systems, I: Arnold-Liouville with singularities

In the first part of this paper we revisit a classical topological theorem by Tischler (1970) and deduce a topological result about compact manifolds admitting a set of independent closed forms proving that the manifold is a fibration over a torus. As an application we reprove the Liouville theorem for integrable systems asserting that the invariant sets or compact connected fibers of a regular integrable system are tori. We give a new proof of this theorem (including the non...

Based on the Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups $H_{EL}^{(2k-1)}({\cal M}^{2n}) (1 \leqslant k\leqslant n)$ on symplectic manifold $({\cal M}^{2n}, \omega)$, their properties and a kind of classification of vector fields on the manifold, we generalize Liouville's theorem in classical mechanics to two sequences, the symplectic(-like) and the Hamiltonian-(like) Liouville's theorems. This also generalizes Noether's theorem, since the sequence of symplectic(-like) Liouville's theor...

The purpose of this paper is to study the relation between the $C^0$-topology and the topology induced by the spectral norm on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold. Following the approach of Buhovsky-Humili\`ere-Seyfaddini, we prove the $C^0$-continuity of the spectral norm for complex projective spaces and negative monotone symplectic manifolds. The case of complex projective spaces provides an alternative approach to the $C^0$-continuity ...

We provide a model for an open invariant neighborhood of any orbit in a symplectic manifold endowed with a canonical proper symmetry. Our results generalize the constructions of Marle and Guillemin and Sternberg for canonical symmetries that have an associated momentum map. In these papers the momentum map played a crucial role in the construction of the tubular model. The present work shows that in the construction of the tubular model it can be used the so called Chu map in...

Let (M,w) be a compact symplectic 2n-manifold, and g a Riemannian metric on M compatible with w. For instance, g could be Kahler, with Kahler form w. Consider compact Lagrangian submanifolds L of M. We call L Hamiltonian stationary, or H-minimal, if it is a critical point of the volume functional under Hamiltonian deformations. It is called Hamiltonian stable if in addition the second variation of volume under Hamiltonian deformations is nonnegative. Our main result is that...

In this paper, we treat symplectic difference equations with one degree of freedom. For such cases, we resolve the relation between that the dynamics on the two dimensional phase space is reduced to on one dimensional level sets by a conserved quantity and that the dynamics is integrable, under some assumptions. The process which we introduce is related to interval exchange transformations.

Some subjects related to the geometric theory of singular dynamical systems are reviewed in this paper. In particular, the following two matters are considered: the theory of canonical transformations for presymplectic Hamiltonian systems, and the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian constraint algorithms and the time-evolution operator.

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a compact symplectic manifold. A theorem of Kirwan's says that the image of the momentum mapping intersects the positive Weyl chamber in a convex polytope. I present a new proof of Kirwan's theorem, which gives explicit information on how the vertices of the polytope come about and on how the shape of the polytope near any point can be read off from infinitesimal data on the manifold. It also applies to some interesting ...

In this note we present a brief introduction to Lagrangian Floer homology and its relation with the solution of Arnol'd conjecture, on the minimal number of non-degenerate fixed points of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism. We start with the basic definition of critical point on smooth manifolds, in oder to sketch some aspects of Morse theory. Introduction to the basics concepts of symplectic geometry are also included, with the idea of understanding the statement of Arnol'd Conjec...

We consider Hamiltonian systems restricted to the hypersurfaces of contact type and obtain a partial version of the Arnold-Liouville theorem: the system not need to be integrable on the whole phase space, while the invariant hypersurface is foliated on an invariant Lagrangian tori. In the second part of the paper we consider contact systems with constraints. As an example, the Reeb flows on Brieskorn manifolds are considered.
