Rotations and Integrability
2024, vol. 29, no. 6, pp. 913-930
Abstract
We discuss some families of integrable and superintegrable systems in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space which are invariant under $m\geqslant n-2$ rotations. The invariant Hamiltonian $H=\sum p_i^2+V(q)$ is integrable with $n-2$ integrals of motion $M_\alpha $ and an additional integral of
motion $G$, which are first- and fourth-order polynomials in momenta, respectively.

Integrable Systems on a Sphere, an Ellipsoid and a Hyperboloid
2023, vol. 28, no. 6, pp. 805-821
Abstract
Affine transformations in Euclidean space generate a correspondence between
integrable systems on cotangent bundles to a sphere, ellipsoid and hyperboloid embedded in
$R^n$. Using this correspondence and the suitable coupling constant transformations, we can get
real integrals of motion in the hyperboloid case starting with real integrals of motion in the
sphere case. We discuss a few such integrable systems with invariants which are cubic, quartic
and sextic polynomials in momenta.

Reduction of Divisors and the Clebsch System
2022, vol. 27, no. 3, pp. 307-319
Abstract
There are a few Lax matrices of the Clebsch system. Poles of the Baker – Akhiezer function determine the class of equivalent divisors on the corresponding spectral curves. According to the Riemann – Roch theorem, each class has a unique reduced representative. We discuss properties of such a reduced divisor on the spectral curve of $3\times 3$ Lax matrix having a natural generalization to $gl^*(n)$ case.

On the Nonholonomic Routh Sphere in a Magnetic Field
2020, vol. 25, no. 1, pp. 18-32
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the motion of an unbalanced dynamically symmetric
sphere rolling without slipping on a plane in the presence of an external magnetic field. It
is assumed that the sphere can consist completely or partially of dielectric, ferromagnetic,
superconducting and crystalline materials. According to the existing phenomenological theory,
the analysis of the sphere’s dynamics requires in this case taking into account the Lorentz torque,
the Barnett – London effect and the Einstein – de Haas effect. Using this mathematical model,
we have obtained conditions for the existence of integrals of motion which allow one to reduce
integration of the equations of motion to a quadrature similar to the Lagrange quadrature for
a heavy rigid body.

On the Chaplygin Sphere in a Magnetic Field
2019, vol. 24, no. 6, pp. 739-754
Abstract
We consider the possibility of using Dirac’s ideas of the deformation of Poisson
brackets in nonholonomic mechanics. As an example, we analyze the composition of external
forces that do no work and reaction forces of nonintegrable constraints in the model of
a nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere on a plane. We prove that, when a solenoidal field is
applied, the general mechanical energy, the invariant measure and the conformally Hamiltonian
representation of the equations of motion are preserved. In addition, we consider the case of
motion of the nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere in a constant magnetic field taking dielectric
and ferromagnetic (superconducting) properties of the sphere into account. As a by-product
we also obtain two new integrable cases of the Hamiltonian rigid body dynamics in a constant
magnetic field taking the magnetization by rotation effect into account.

The Kepler Problem: Polynomial Algebra of Nonpolynomial First Integrals
2019, vol. 24, no. 4, pp. 353-369
Abstract
The sum of elliptic integrals simultaneously determines orbits in the Kepler problem and the addition of divisors on elliptic curves. Periodic motion of a body in physical space is defined by symmetries, whereas periodic motion of divisors is defined by a fixed point on the curve. The algebra of the first integrals associated with symmetries is a well-known mathematical object, whereas the algebra of the first integrals associated with the coordinates of fixed points is unknown. In this paper, we discuss polynomial algebras of nonpolynomial first integrals of superintegrable systems associated with elliptic curves.

Hamiltonization and Separation of Variables for a Chaplygin Ball on a Rotating Plane
2019, vol. 24, no. 2, pp. 171-186
Abstract
We discuss a non-Hamiltonian vector field appearing in considering the partial motion of a Chaplygin ball rolling on a horizontal plane which rotates with constant angular velocity. In two partial cases this vector field is expressed via Hamiltonian vector fields using a nonalgebraic deformation of the canonical Poisson bivector on $e^*(3)$. For the symmetric ball we also calculate variables of separation, compatible Poisson brackets, the algebra of Haantjes operators and $2\times2$ Lax matrices.

On Discretization of the Euler Top
2018, vol. 23, no. 6, pp. 785-796
Abstract
The application of intersection theory to construction of $n$-point finite-difference equations associated with classical integrable systems is discussed. As an example, we present a few new discretizations of motion of the Euler top sharing the integrals of motion with the continuous time system and the Poisson bracket up to the integer scaling factor.

Integrable Discretization and Deformation of the Nonholonomic Chaplygin Ball
2017, vol. 22, no. 4, pp. 353-367
Abstract
The rolling of a dynamically balanced ball on a horizontal rough table without slipping was described by Chaplygin using Abel quadratures. We discuss integrable discretizations and deformations of this nonholonomic system using the same Abel quadratures. As a by-product one gets a new geodesic flow on the unit two-dimensional sphere whose additional integrals of motion are polynomials in the momenta of fourth order.

Bäcklund Transformations for the Nonholonomic Veselova System

Abstract
We present auto and hetero Bäcklund transformations of the nonholonomic Veselova system using standard divisor arithmetic on the hyperelliptic curve of genus two. As a by-product one gets two natural integrable systems on the cotangent bundle to the unit two-dimensional sphere whose additional integrals of motion are polynomials in the momenta of fourth order.

Killing Tensors with Nonvanishing Haantjes Torsion and Integrable Systems
2015, vol. 20, no. 4, pp. 463-475
Abstract
The second-order integrable Killing tensor with simple eigenvalues and vanishing Haantjes torsion is the key ingredient in construction of Liouville integrable systems of Stäckel type. We present two examples of the integrable systems on three-dimensional Euclidean space associated with the second-order Killing tensors possessing nontrivial torsion. Integrals of motion for these integrable systems are the second- and fourth-order polynomials in momenta, which are constructed using a special family of the Killing tensors.

Simultaneous Separation for the Neumann and Chaplygin Systems
2015, vol. 20, no. 1, pp. 74-93
Abstract
The Neumann and Chaplygin systems on the sphere are simultaneously separable in variables obtained from the standard elliptic coordinates by the proper Bäcklund transformation. We also prove that after similar Bäcklund transformations other curvilinear coordinates on the sphere and on the plane become variables of separation for the system with quartic potential, for the Hénon–Heiles system and for the Kowalevski top. This allows us to speak about some analog of the hetero Bäcklund transformations relating different Hamilton–Jacobi equations.

On the Poisson Structures for the Nonholonomic Chaplygin and Veselova Problems
2012, vol. 17, no. 5, pp. 439-450
Abstract
We discuss a Poisson structure, linear in momenta, for the generalized nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere problem and the $LR$ Veselova system. Reduction of these structures to the canonical form allows one to prove that the Veselova system is equivalent to the Chaplygin ball after transformations of coordinates and parameters.

One Invariant Measure and Different Poisson Brackets for Two Non-Holonomic Systems
2012, vol. 17, no. 1, pp. 72-96
Abstract
We discuss the non-holonomic Chaplygin and the Borisov–Mamaev–Fedorov systems, for which symplectic forms are different deformations of the square root from the corresponding invariant volume form. In both cases second Poisson bivectors are determined by $L$-tensors with non-zero torsion on configuration space, in contrast with the well-known Eisenhart–Benenti and Turiel constructions.

Change of the time for the periodic Toda lattices and natural systems on the plane with higher order integrals of motion
2009, vol. 14, nos. 4-5, pp. 541-549
Abstract
We discuss some special classes of canonical transformations of the time variable, which relate different integrable systems. Such dual systems have different integrals of motion, Lax equations, separated variables and bi-hamiltonian structures. As an example the two-dimensional periodic Toda lattices associated with the classical root systems and the dual natural systems on the palne are considered in detail.

New Lax pair for restricted multiple three wave interaction system, quasiperiodic solutions and bi-Hamiltonian structure
2008, vol. 13, no. 6, pp. 593-601
Abstract
We study restricted multiple three wave interaction system by the inverse scattering method. We develop the algebraic approach in terms of classical $r$-matrix and give an interpretation of the Poisson brackets as linear $r$-matrix algebra. The solutions are expressed in terms of polynomials of theta functions. In particular case for $n = 1$ in terms of Weierstrass functions.

On Maximally Superintegrable Systems
2008, vol. 13, no. 3, pp. 178-190
Abstract
Locally any completely integrable system is maximally superintegrable system since we have the necessary number of the action-angle variables. The main problem is the construction of the single-valued additional integrals of motion on the whole phase space by using these multi-valued action-angle variables. Some constructions of the additional integrals of motion for the Stäckel systems and for the integrable systems related with two different quadratic $r$-matrix algebras are discussed. Among these system there are the open Heisenberg magnet and the open Toda lattices associated with the different root systems.

Abstract
We introduce a family of compatible Poisson brackets on the space of $2 \times 2$ polynomial matrices, which contains the reflection equation algebra bracket. Then we use it to derive a multi-Hamiltonian structure for a set of integrable systems that includes the $XXX$ Heisenberg magnet with boundary conditions, the generalized Toda lattices and the Kowalevski top.

Towards a classification of natural integrable systems
2006, vol. 11, no. 3, pp. 343-362
Abstract
For construction and classification of the natural integrable systems we propose to use a criterion of separability in Darboux–Nijenhuis coordinates, which can be tested without an a priori explicit knowledge of these coordinates. As an example we apply this method for the search of integrable systems on the plane.

On the Steklov–Lyapunov case of the rigid body motion
2004, vol. 9, no. 2, pp. 77-89
Abstract
We construct a Poisson map between manifolds with linear Poisson brackets corresponding to the two samples of Lie algebra $e(3)$. Using this map we establish equivalence of the Steklov–Lyapunov system and the motion of a particle on the surface of the sphere under the influence of the fourth order potential. To study separation of variables for the Steklov case on the Lie algebra $so(4)$ we use the twisted Poisson map between the bi-Hamiltonian manifolds $e(3)$ and $so(4)$.

On integration of the Kowalevski gyrostat and the Clebsch problems
2004, vol. 9, no. 2, pp. 169-187
Abstract
For the Kowalevski gyrostat change of variables similar to that of the Kowalevski top is done. We establish one to one correspondence between the Kowalevski gyrostat and the Clebsch system and demonstrate that Kowalevski variables for the gyrostat practically coincide with elliptic coordinates on sphere for the Clebsch case. Equivalence of considered integrable systems allows to construct two Lax matrices for the gyrostat using known rational and elliptic Lax matrices for the Clebsch model. Associated with these matrices solutions of the Clebsch system and, therefore, of the Kowalevski gyrostat problem are discussed. The Kötter solution of the Clebsch system in modern notation is presented in detail.

Noncanonical transformations of the spherical top
2003, vol. 8, no. 2, pp. 143-154
Abstract
We discuss noncanonical transformations connecting different integrable systems on the symplectic leaves of the Poisson manifolds. The special class of transformations, which consists of the symplectic mappings of symplectic leaves and of the parallel transports induced by diffeomorphisms in the base of symplectic foliation, is considered. As an example, we list integrable systems associated with the spherical top. The corresponding additional integrals of motion are second, third and six order polynomials in momenta.

On the Invariant Separated Variables
2001, vol. 6, no. 3, pp. 307-326
Abstract
An integrable Hamiltonian system on a Poisson manifold consists of a Lagrangian foliation $\mathscr{F}$ and a Hamilton function $H$. The invariant separated variables are independent on values of integrals of motion and Casimir functions. It means that they are invariant with respect to abelian group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of $\mathscr{F}$ and belong to the invariant intersection of all the subfoliations of $\mathscr{F}$. In this paper we show that for many known integrable systems this invariance property allows us to calculate their separated variables explicitly.

The Kepler Canonical Transformations of the Extended Phase Space
2000, vol. 5, no. 1, pp. 117-127
Abstract
We consider compositions of the transformations of the time variable and canonical transformations of the other coordinates, which map a completely integrable system into another completely integrable system. Change of the time gives rise to transformations of the integrals of motion and the Lax pairs, transformations of the corresponding spectral curves and $R$-matrices.
