In this paper, we give a short survey of recent results on the algebraic version of the Birkhoff conjecture for integrable billiards on surfaces of constant curvature. We also discuss integrable magnetic billiards. As a new application of the algebraic technique, we study the existence of polynomial integrals for the two-sided magnetic billiards introduced by Kozlov and Polikarpov. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Finite dimensional integrable systems: new trends and methods’.

The immobility of the center of mass in spaces of constant curvature is postulated based on its definition obtained in [1]. The system of two particles which interact through a potential depending only on the distance between particles on a three-dimensional sphere is considered. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is formulated and its solutions and trajectory equations are found. It was established that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance.

AbstractThe harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy. In the absence of singularities, previous theory established that the flow converges to a branched minimal immersion, but only at a sequence of times converging to infinity, and only after pulling back by a sequence of diffeomorphisms. In this paper, we investigate whether it is necessary to pull back by these diffeomorphisms, and whether the convergence is uniform as {t\to\infty}.

The Euler characteristic of an even dimensional submanifold in a space of constant curvature is given in terms of Weyl's curvature invariants. A derivation of Chern's kinematic formula in non-Euclidean space is completed. As an application of above results Weyl's tube formula about an odd-dimensional submanifold in a space of constant curvature is obtained.
