6 ECTS credits
150 u studietijd
Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4021564DNR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een inleidend master niveau.
1) Definition of Hamiltonian systems, fundamental properties, examples.
2) Integrability in finite dimensions (Frobenius, Liouville, extensions), fundamental properties, examples and differences.
3) Important integrable Hamiltonian systemens in mathematics and physisc: sferical pendulum, rigid body, spinning top (Lagrange, Euler, Kovalevskaya), coupled spin-oscillators, coupled angular momenta...
4) Local behavior in regular points: theorem of Arnold-Liouville, transformation to action-angle coördinates.
5) Local beahviour in singular points: Eliasson-Miranda-Zung normal form for nondegenerate hyperbolic, elliptic and focus-focus components of singular points.
6) Semitoric systems: properties and interactions with the topology and geometry of the underlying manifold.
7) Integrability in infinite dimensions (“integrable Hamiltonian PDE”): motivation important examples (Korteweg-de Vries equation, Sine-Gordon equation, Nonlinear Schrödinger equation).
Essential information (schedule, literature/ lecture notes, homeworks etc.) will be posted on the webpage of the professor and/or assistant.
Good knowledge of the standard results and examples of finite dimensional integrable systems plus insights into infinite dimensional integrability. For details, see the list of content.
