Heisenberg Model in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces II
2018, vol. 23, no. 4, pp. 418-437
Abstract
In the review we describe a relation between the Heisenberg spin chain model on pseudospheres and light-like cones in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and virtual billiards. A geometrical interpretation of the integrals associated to a family of confocal quadrics is given, analogous to Moser’s geometrical interpretation of the integrals of the Neumann system on the sphere.

Invariant Measures of Modified LR and L$+$R Systems
2015, vol. 20, no. 5, pp. 542-552
Abstract
We introduce a class of dynamical systems having an invariant measure, the modifications of well-known systems on Lie groups: LR and L$+$R systems. As an example, we study a modified Veselova nonholonomic rigid body problem, considered as a dynamical system on the product of the Lie algebra $so(n)$ with the Stiefel variety $V_{n,r}$, as well as the associated $\epsilon$L$+$R system on $so(n)\times V_{n,r}$. In the 3-dimensional case, these systems model the nonholonomic problems of motion of a ball and a rubber ball over a fixed sphere.

Note on Free Symmetric Rigid Body Motion
2015, vol. 20, no. 3, pp. 293-308
Abstract
We consider the Euler equations of motion of a free symmetric rigid body around a fixed point, restricted to the invariant subspace given by the zero values of the corresponding linear Noether integrals. In the case of the $SO(n − 2)$-symmetry, we show that almost all trajectories are periodic and that the motion can be expressed in terms of elliptic functions. In the case of the $SO(n − 3)$-symmetry, we prove the solvability of the problem by using a recent Kozlov’s result on the Euler–Jacobi–Lie theorem.

Heisenberg Model in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces
2014, vol. 19, no. 2, pp. 245-250
Abstract
We construct analogues of the classical Heisenberg spin chain model (or the discrete Neumann system), on pseudo-spheres and light-like cones in the pseudo-Euclidean spaces and show their complete Hamiltonian integrability. Further, we prove that the Heisenberg model on a light-like cone leads to a new example of the integrable discrete contact system.

Geodesic Flows on Riemannian g.o. Spaces
2011, vol. 16, no. 5, pp. 504-513
Abstract
We prove the integrability of geodesic flows on the Riemannian g.o. spaces of compact Lie groups, as well as on a related class of Riemannian homogeneous spaces having an additional principal bundle structure.

Hamiltonization of the generalized Veselova LR system
2009, vol. 14, no. 4-5, pp. 495-505
Abstract
We revise the solution to the problem of Hamiltonization of the $n$-dimensional Veselova non-holonomic system studied previously in [1]. Namely, we give a short and direct proof of the hamiltonization theorem and also show the trajectorial equivalence of the problem with the geodesic flow on the ellipsoid.

Some Multidimensional Integrable Cases Of Nonholonomic Rigid Body Dynamics
2003, vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 125-132
Abstract
In this paper we study the dynamics of the constrained $n$-dimensional rigid body (the Suslov problem). We give a review of known integrable cases in three dimensions and present their higher dimensional generalizations.
