TITLE: A direct technique to identify solvable dynamical systems, and some solvable extensions of the goldfish many-body problem
CONTACT: tsuda
SPEAKER: Dr. Francesco Calogero  (Univ. of Rome)
LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: A (somewhat novel) technique to identify and investigate solvable many-body problems is described, and it is shown that it reproduces some standard many-body problems already known to be integrable and solvable, as well as some new ones. Some of these new models are isochronous, namely their generic solutions are completely periodic with a fixed period (independent of the initial data). The investigation of the behavior of some of these systems in the vicinity of their equilibrium configurations yields some amusing diophantine relations. References: F. Calogero and J.-P.
