Hamilton equations-Symplectic scheme [closed]
We know that $\dot{q} = \frac{\partial H}{\partial p}$ and $\dot{p} = -\frac{\partial H}{\partial q}$, and we also know the values $Q$ and $P$ respectively of $q$ and $p$ at a later time step $\Delta ...

Symplectic forms and sign of eigenvalues
This question has come out while reading J. Moser "New Aspects in the Theory of Stability
of Hamiltonian Systems". I'm particularly interested to the Appendix, where one investigates the stability of ...

Classical analogue of the theorem of equivalence of the S-matrix
In quantum field theory there is a statement called the equivalence theorem of the S-matrix. S-matrix is invariant under reparametrization of the field. Is there in classical mechanics, the analogous ...

Some quantities which definitions are (somehow) similar to the classical Divergence
Motivated by classical formulas $L_{X}=d\circ i_{X}+i_{X}\circ d$ and $L_{X} \Omega=Div(X) \Omega$ and the essential role of the diff operator $d$ in definition of divergence, we define some ...

How to deal with the singular reduction of the Hamiltonian n body problem?
I would like to consider the reduced Hamiltonian $n$ body problem, but am struggling with the angular momentum reduction seeing as the $SO(3)$ action is not free and the reduction is singular.

Flow of a Hamiltonian vector field
Smooth vector fields are in a one-to-one relationship with flows $\Phi: D \subseteq M\times \mathbb{R} \rightarrow M$,
$$X_m = {\frac{d}{d t}}_{t=0} \Phi(m, t),$$
and by the symplectic form also with ...

Generalization of Rigid Body Motion to arbitrary (compact) Lie Groups
The classical dynamics of a rigid body in three dimensions may be described as the motion of a point on a configuration space given by the Lie group $SO(3)$, governed by Euler's equations for rigid ...

Is an immersed Kronecker join always a multilinear variety on a Hilbert space?
The question asked is:
Is the implicitization of an arbitrary-rank immersed Kronecker join always a multilinear variety on a Hilbert space?
This is related to another MathOverflow question
In ...

Why is every symplectomorphism of the unit disk Hamiltonian isotopic to the identity?
That is, for any symplectomorphism $\psi: D^2 \to D^2$, there should be a time-dependent Hamiltonian Ht on D2 such that the corresponding flow at time 1 is equal to $\psi$.
I found this in claim a ...
