Birkhoff normalization and superintegrability of Hamiltonian systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 March 2009
Abstract
We study Birkhoff normalization in connection with superintegrability of an n-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system XH with holomorphic Hamiltonian H. Without assuming any Poisson commuting relation among integrals, we prove that, if the system XH has n+q holomorphic integrals near an equilibrium point of resonance degree q≥0, there exists a holomorphic Birkhoff transformation φ such that H∘φ becomes a holomorphic function of n−q variables and that XH∘φ can be solved explicitly. Furthermore, the Birkhoff normal form H∘φ is determined uniquely, independently of the choice of φ, as convergent power series. We also show that the system XH is superintegrable in the sense of Mischenko–Fomenko as well as Liouville-integrable near the equilibrium point.
