1 Seminar, Kobe U., April 22, 2015 Liouville integrability of Hamiltonian systems and spacetime symmetry Tsuyoshi Houri with D. Kubiznak (Perimeter Inst.), C. Warnick (Warwick U.) Y. Yasui (OCU Setsunan U.)

2 Hamilton formalism Many dynamical systems in physics are described in this framework. A dynamical system is governed by a function of canonical coordinates q and momenta p, called Hamiltonian H(q, p ) Equations of motion dq dτ = H p dp dτ = H q

3 Hamilton formalism Poisson bracket A, B A q B p A p B q Conserved quantity (First integral) df dτ = F dq q dτ + F dp p dτ = F q H p F p H q = F, H F is a conserved quantity F, H =0

4 Hamilton formalism Liouville integrability If there exist D independent Poisson-commuting constants α i (including Hamiltonian) in a D-dim Hamiltonian system, then the system is said to be completely integrable. Namely, one can prove that there exists a canonical transf. (x, p) (φ, I(α)), and then easily solve the Hamilton s eq.:

5 Hamiltonian H = 1 2, g (q)p p + V(q) g (q) : metric (q, p ) : canonical coordinates ds = g dq dq V(q) : potential V 0 V = 0 Natural Hamiltonian Geodesic Hamiltonian

6 The purpose of this talk To show a systematic approach for investigating polynomial conserved quantities for any natural Hamiltonian system

7 Keywords 1 Geometrisation Any natural Hamiltonian system can be translated to the geodesic problem in a corresponding spacetime. ➁ Prolongation Equations describing spacetime symmetry can be translated to a first-order linear PDE system.

8 Geodesic problem and spacetime symmetry

9 Spacetime symmetry Isometry Killing equation invariant Constant along geodesics geodesic

10 Spacetime symmetry Conserved quantities along geodesics

11 For a geodesic Hamiltonian H = g p p, when F is a n-order homogeneous polynomial in p, then we find that Killing-Stackel Eq.

12 Spacetime symmetry Conserved quantities along geodesics Isometry (Killing vector) Hidden symmetry (Killing tensor) first-order polynomial higher-order polynomial

13 Spacetime symmetry Killing vector fields: ξ μ ξ ν + ν ξ μ = 0 Killing-Stackel tensors (μ K ν1 ν 2 ν n ) = 0 Killing-Yano tensors (μ f ν1 )ν 2 ν n = 0 [Stackel 1895] [Yano 1952] K (μ1 μ 2 μ n ) = K μ1 μ 2 μ n f [μ1 μ 2 μ n] = f μ1 μ 2 μ n

14 vector fields Killing Conformal Killing symmetric anti-symmetric Killing-Stackel Killing-Yano Stackel 1895 Yano 1952 Conformal Killing-Stackel Conformal Killing-Yano Tachibana 1969, Kashiwada 1968

15 Why spacetime symmetry? Conserved quantities along geodesics Integrability of EOMs for matter fields Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations Classification of spacetimes Stationary, axially symmetric, Bianchi type, etc. Application to Hamiltonian dynamics

16 Geometrisation

17 Basic idea The dynamical trajectories of a Hamiltonian system of the form can be seen as geodesics of a corresponding configuration space, or of enlargement of it, under some constraints.

22 Jacobi s formulation

23 Jacobi s formulation Theorem Given a dynamical system on a manifold (M, g ) i.e., a dynamical system whose Lagrangian is then it is always possible to find a conformal transformation of the metric (Jacobi metric) such that the geodesics of (M, g ) with the energy E = 1 are equivalent to the trajectories of the original dynamical system.

24 Comparison of Hamiltonians Natural Hamiltonian H = 1 2 g p p + U with H = E Jacobi s Hamiltonian equivalent! E = H + U H = 1 2 g p p with g = E U g H = 1 1 = H E U

27 Natural Hamiltonian Qudartic + potential Geodesic Hamiltonian H = 1 2 g (q)p p + U(q) Homogeneously quadratic H = 1 2 g q p p Point! We need to construct a geodesic Hamiltonian, i.e., a homogeneously quadratic Hamiltonian which reduces to the original natural Hamiltonian under some transformation or constraints.

37 Review I: Integrability conditions for systems of first order PDEs

38 A system of first order PDEs u x = ψ x u u = (u, u,, u ) ; unknown functions x = (x, x,, x ) ; variables Questions : Does the solution exist? If exist, is the solution space finite or infinite? How many dimensions? Explicit expressions? at most N dimensions

39 Consistency conditions u u x x x x = 0 u x x = ψ u x x = ψ x x u + ψ u x = ψ x u + ψ ψ u + ψ u x = ψ x u u + ψ ψ u ψ x ψ x + ψ ψ ψ ψ u = 0

40 Frobenius theorem The necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solution u = u (x) to the system u x = ψ u such that u x = u to exist for any initial data (x, u ) is that the relation hold. ψ x ψ x + ψ ψ ψ ψ = 0

41 Parallel equation u π (p) u x = ψ x u E u x ψ x u = 0 π p M D u = 0 where D u : = u x ψ x u The system can be viewed as a parallel equation for sections u of a vector bundle π: E M of rank N.

42 Curvature conditions For a connection D D u : = u x ψ x u the curvature of D is defined by (D D D D )u = R u. D u = 0 R u = 0 This is equivalent to the Frobenius integrability condition

43 Frobenius theorem (II) The necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solution u = u (x) to the system where such that u x = u to exist for any initial data (x, u ) is that the relation hold. D u = 0 D u : = u x ψ R u = 0 i = 1,, n x u α = 1,, N

44 Discussion If the curvature conditions hold, the general solution depends on N arbitrary constants. u x; a = a u (x) + a u (x) + + a u (x) If not, they give a set of algebraic equations R u = 0 Differentiating these equations and eliminating the derivatives of u leads to a new set of equations (D R )u = 0 D F F ψ F + F ψ

45 Discussion Proceeding in this way we get a sequence of sets of equations R u = 0, (D R )u = 0, (D ll D R )u = 0, If p is the number of independent equations in the first K sets, then the general solution depends on N p arbitrary constants.

46 Review II: Prolongation of PDEs

47 Prolongation F x, f, f, f, = 0 u x = ψ u i = 1,, n α = 1,, N

48 Example 1 Introduce w = u v u = au + bv u + v = cu + dv v = eu + fv u = au + bv u = 1 (cu + dv + w) 2 v = 1 (cu + dv w) 2 v = eu + fv w = w (u, v, w) w = w (u, v, w)

49 Example 2: Cauchy-Riemann equation u = v u = v Impossible to make a prolongation! In fact, solution of this system depends on one holomorphic function.

50 Prolongation F x, f, f, f, = 0 Not always possible When can we make a prolongation successfully? u x = ψ (x, u) i = 1,, n α = 1,, N

Deriving this once more we find 10.1 Symmetries A diffeomorphism φ is said to be an isometry of a metric g if φ g = g. An infinitesimal diffeomorphism is described by a vectorfield v. The vectorfield v is an infinitesimal isometry if
