    Hamiltonian dynamics

    No full text
    This is both a textbook and a monograph. It is partially based on a two-semester course, held by the author for third-year students in physics and mathematics at the University of Salerno, on analytical mechanics, differential geometry, symplectic manifolds and integrable systems. As a textbook, it provides a systematic and self-consistent formulation of Hamiltonian dynamics both in a rigorous coordinate language and in the modern language of differential geometry. It also presents powerful mathematical methods of theoretical physics, especially in gauge theories and general relativity. As a

    We construct a Miura-like transformation which transforms symplectic forms, Poisson brackets and conservation laws of KdV into those of SG, and then, transforms the hamiltonian flow of KdV into a one-parameter symmetry group of SG

    An integrable model in general relativity

    It is shown that gravitational fields invariant for a non Abelian 2-dimensional Lie algebra of Killing fields are parameterized either by solutions of a transcendental equation (the tortoise equation) or by solutions of a linear second order partial differential equation (the Laplace equation or the Darboux equation) on the plane. Those determined via Laplace or Darboux equations are exact nonlinear gravitational waves obeying to two nonlinear superposition laws

    We consider the Recursion Operator approach to the soliton equations related to a auxiliary linear system introduced recently by Gerdjikov, Mikhailov and Valchev (GMV system) and their interpretation as dual of Nijenhuis tensors on the manifold of potentials
