Asymptotic velocity is defined as the Cesàro limit of velocity. As such, its existence has been proved for bounded interaction potentials. This is known to be wrong in celestial mechanics with four or more bodies. Here, we show for a class of pair potentials including the homogeneous ones of degree − α for α ∈(0, 2), that asymptotic velocities exist for up to four bodies, dimension three or larger, for any energy and almost all initial conditions on the energy surface.

The paper surveys open problems and questions related to different aspects of integrable systems with finitely many degrees of freedom. Many of the open problems were suggested by the participants of the conference ‘Finite-dimensional Integrable Systems, FDIS 2017’ held at CRM, Barcelona in July 2017. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Finite dimensional integrable systems: new trends and methods’.

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’.

We discuss normal forms and symplectic invariants of parabolic orbits and cuspidal tori in integrable Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. Such singularities appear in many integrable systems in geometry and mathematical physics and can be considered as the simplest example of degenerate singularities. We also suggest some new techniques which apparently can be used for studying symplectic invariants of degenerate singularities of more general type.

In this survey, we provide a concise introduction to convex billiards and describe some recent results, obtained by the authors and collaborators, on the classification of integrable billiards, namely the so-called Birkhoff conjecture.

We consider the moduli space of flat SO (2 n  + 1)-connections (up to gauge transformations) on a Riemann surface, with fixed holonomy around a marked point. There are natural line bundles over this moduli space; we construct geometric representatives for the Chern classes of these line bundles, and prove that the ring generated by these Chern classes vanishes below the dimension of the moduli space, generalizing a conjecture of Newstead. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Finite dimensional integrable systems: new trends and methods’.

The aim of celestial mechanics is to derive all solutions of the differential equations of the three- and n-body problems and to reveal the interrelation among all such solutions with various values of the masses and initial conditions, not only to predict the positions of celestial bodies at any instant but to think over the cosmogony of stellar systems and to ascertain the law of universal gravitation in view of the time-space picture of physical theory.

AbstractA family of quantum Hamiltonians is said to be universal if any other finite-dimensional Hamiltonian can be approximately encoded within the low-energy space of a Hamiltonian from that family. If the encoding is efficient, universal families of Hamiltonians can be used as universal analogue quantum simulators and universal quantum computers, and the problem of approximately determining the ground-state energy of a Hamiltonian from a universal family is QMA-complete. One natural way to categorise Hamiltonians into families is in terms of the interactions they are built from. Here we prove universality of some important classes of interactions on qudits (d-level systems): We completely characterise the k-qudit interactions which are universal, if augmented with arbitrary Hermitian 1-local terms. We find that, for all $$k \geqslant 2$$ k ⩾ 2 and all local dimensions $$d \geqslant 2$$ d ⩾ 2 , almost all such interactions are universal aside from a simple stoquastic class. We prove universality of generalisations of the Heisenberg model that are ubiquitous in condensed-matter physics, even if free 1-local terms are not provided. We show that the SU(d) and SU(2) Heisenberg interactions are universal for all local dimensions $$d \geqslant 2$$ d ⩾ 2 (spin $$\geqslant 1/2$$ ⩾ 1 / 2 ), implying that a quantum variant of the Max-d-Cut problem is QMA-complete. We also show that for $$d=3$$ d = 3 all bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg interactions are universal. One example is the general AKLT model. We prove universality of any interaction proportional to the projector onto a pure entangled state.

Abstract We consider the 𝑑-dimensional Boussinesq system defined on a sufficiently smooth bounded domain and subject to a pair { v , u } \{v,\boldsymbol{u}\} of controls localized on { Γ ~ , ω } \{\widetilde{\Gamma},\omega\} . Here, 𝑣 is a scalar Dirichlet boundary control for the thermal equation, acting on an arbitrarily small connected portion Γ ~ \widetilde{\Gamma} of the boundary Γ = ∂ ⁡ Ω \Gamma=\partial\Omega . Instead, 𝒖 is a 𝑑-dimensional internal control for the fluid equation acting on an arbitrarily small collar 𝜔 supported by Γ ~ \widetilde{\Gamma} . The initial conditions for both fluid and heat equations are taken of low regularity. We then seek to uniformly stabilize such Boussinesq system in the vicinity of an unstable equilibrium pair, in the critical setting of correspondingly low regularity spaces, by means of an explicitly constructed, finite-dimensional feedback control pair { v , u } \{v,\boldsymbol{u}\} localized on { Γ ~ , ω } \{\widetilde{\Gamma},\omega\} . In addition, they will be minimal in number and of reduced dimension; more precisely, 𝒖 will be of dimension ( d - 1 ) (d-1) , to include necessarily its 𝑑-th component, and 𝑣 will be of dimension 1. The resulting space of well-posedness and stabilization is a suitable, tight Besov space for the fluid velocity component (close to L 3 ⁢ ( Ω ) \boldsymbol{L}^{3}(\Omega) for d = 3 d=3 ) and a corresponding Besov space for the thermal component, q > d q>d . Unique continuation inverse theorems for suitably over-determined adjoint static problems play a critical role in the constructive solution. Their proof rests on Carleman-type estimates, a topic pioneered by M. V. Klibanov since the early 80s.

The famous Lorenz system is studied and analyzed for a particular set of parameters originally proposed by Lorenz. With those parameters, the system has a single globally attracting strange attractor, meaning that almost all initial conditions in its 3D state space approach the attractor as time advances. However, with a slight change in one of the parameters, the chaotic attractor coexists with a symmetric pair of stable equilibrium points, and the resulting tri-stable system has three intertwined basins of attraction. The advent of 3D printers now makes it possible to visualize the topology of such basins of attraction as the results presented here illustrate.
