3 The restricted 3-body problem (joint with Delshams) Simplified version of the general 3-body problem. One of the bodies has negligible mass. The other two bodies move independently of it following Kepler s laws for the 2-body problem on elliptic orbits with eccentricity e. Figure: Circular 3-body problem Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

4 Planar restricted 3-body problem By Newton s law of universal gravitation d 2 q dt 2 = (1 µ) q 1 q q 1 q 3 + µ q 2 q q 2 q 3 (1) with q 1 = q 1 (t) the position of the planet with mass 1 µ at time t and q 2 = q 2 (t) the position of the one with mass µ. Introducing the momentum p = dq/dt and the time-dependent self-potential of the small body U(q, t) = 1 µ q q + µ 1 q q 2 Equation (1) can be rewritten as a Hamiltonian system with Hamiltonian H(q, p, t) = p 2 /2 U(q, t), (q, p) R 2 R 2,. The primaries move around their center of mass on ellipses and it is useful to introduce polar coordinates for q = (X, Y ) R 2 \ {0}, X = r cos α, Y = r sin α, (r, α) R + T The momenta p = (P X, P Y ) are transformed in such a way that the total change of coordinates (X, Y, P X, P Y ) (r, α, P r =: y, P α =: G) is canonical, i.e. the symplectic structure remains the same. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

5 Planar restricted 3-body problem To study the behaviour at r =, we introduce McGehee coordinates (x, α, y, G), where r = 2 x 2, x R+. This transformation is non-canonical i.e. the symplectic structure changes: for x > 0 it is given by 4 dx dy + dα dg. x3 which extends to a b 3 -symplectic structure on R T R 2. The Poisson bracket is {f, g} = x3 4 ( f g g y f ) g + f y x α g G f g G α The integrable 2-body problem for µ = 0 is integrable with respect to the singular ω. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

6 Model for these systems ω = 1 x1 n dx 1 dy 1 + dx i dy i i 2 Close to x 1 = 0, the systems behave like, and not like, Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

7 The 3-body problem Consider the system of three bodies with masses m 1, m 2, m 3 and positions q 1 = (q 1, q 2, q 3 ), q 2 = (q 4, q 5, q 6 ), q 3 = (q 7, q 8, q 9 ) R 3. Define the 9 9 matrix M := diag(m 1, m 1, m 1, m 2, m 2, m 2, m 3, m 3, m 3 ). Assume central coordinates (m 1 q 1 + m 2 q 2 + m 3 q 3 = 0). Introduce the following McGehee -coordinates: r := q T Mq, s := q r, z := p r. (2) r = 0 corresponds to triple collisions. Essentially, these are spherical coordinates since s lies on the unit-sphere in R 9 with respect to the metric given by M. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

8 The 3-body problem The standard symplectic form 9 i=1 dq i dp i becomes in the new coordinates (r, s 1,..., s 8, z 1,..., z 9 ). 8 i=1 ( si dr dz i + rds i dz i z ) i r 2 r ds i dr m9 rµ ( µdr dz 9 r with µ := 1 8 i=1 s2 i m i. 9 dq i dp i = i=1 µr 7 8 i=1 m i s i ds i dz 9 + z 9 2 ) 8 m i s i ds i dr, i=1 m 9 ds 1 dz 1 ds 2 dz 2... ds 8 dz 8 dr dz 9, It is a 7 2-folded symplectic structure. (In the n-body problem m-folded symplectic for a certain m). Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

10 b-symplectic/b-poisson structures Definition Let (M 2n, Π) be an (oriented) Poisson manifold such that the map p M (Π(p)) n Λ 2n (T M) is transverse to the zero section, then Z = {p M (Π(p)) n = 0} is a hypersurface called the critical hypersurface and we say that Π is a Poisson b-structure on (M, Z). Symplectic foliation of a b-poisson manifold The symplectic foliation has dense symplectic leaves and codimension 2 symplectic leaves whose union is Z. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

11 Darboux normal forms Theorem (Guillemin-M.-Pires) For all p Z, there exists a Darboux coordinate system x 1, y 1,..., x n, y n centered at p such that Z is defined by x 1 = 0 and Π = x 1 + x 1 y 1 n i=2 x i y i Darboux for b n -symplectic structures or dually Π = x n 1 + x 1 y 1 ω = 1 x n dx 1 dy n i=2 x i y i n dx i dy i i=2 Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

12 Dimension 2 Radko classified b-poisson structures on compact oriented surfaces: Geometrical invariants: The topology of S and the curves γ i where Π vanishes. Dynamical invariants: The periods of the modular vector field along γ i. Measure: The regularized Liouville volume of S, V ε h (Π) = h >ε ω Π for h a function vanishing linearly on the curves γ 1,..., γ n and ω Π the dual form to the Poisson structure. Other classification schemes: For b n -symplectic structures (not necessarily oriented) Scott, M.-Planas. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

13 Higher dimensions: Some compact examples. The product of (R, π R ) a Radko compact surface with a compact symplectic manifold (S, ω) is a b-poisson manifold. corank 1 Poisson manifold (N, π) and X Poisson vector field (S 1 N, f(θ) θ X + π) is a b-poisson manifold if, 1 f vanishes linearly. 2 X is transverse to the symplectic leaves of N. We then have as many copies of N as zeroes of f. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

14 Poisson Geometry of the critical hypersurface This last example is semilocally the canonical picture of a b-poisson structure. 1 The critical hypersurface Z has an induced regular Poisson structure of corank 1. 2 There exists a Poisson vector field transverse to the symplectic foliation induced on Z. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

15 The singular hypersurface Theorem (Guillemin-M.-Pires) If L contains a compact leaf L, then Z is the mapping torus of the symplectomorphism φ : L L determined by the flow of a Poisson vector field v transverse to the symplectic foliation. This description also works for b n -symplectic structures. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

16 A dual approach... b-poisson structures can be seen as symplectic structures modeled over a Lie algebroid (the b-tangent bundle). A vector field v is a b-vector field if v p T p Z for all p Z. The b-tangent bundle b T M is defined by { } Γ(U, b b-vector fields T M) = on (U, U Z) Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

17 b-forms The b-cotangent bundle b T M is ( b T M). Sections of Λ p ( b T M) are b-forms, b Ω p (M).The standard differential extends to d : b Ω p (M) b Ω p+1 (M) A b-symplectic form is a closed, nondegenerate, b-form of degree 2. This dual point of view, allows to prove a b-darboux theorem and semilocal forms via an adaptation of Moser s path method because we can play the same tricks as in the symplectic case. What else? Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

18 b-integrable systems Definition b-integrable system A set of b-functions a f 1,..., f n on (M 2n, ω) such that f 1,..., f n Poisson commute. df 1 df n 0 as a section of Λ n ( b T (M)) on a dense subset of M and on a dense subset of Z a c log x + g Example The symplectic form 1 hdh dθ defined on the interior of the upper hemisphere H + of S 2 extends to a b-symplectic form ω on the double of H + which is S 2. The triple (S 2, ω, log h ) is a b-integrable system. Example If (f 1,..., f n ) is an integrable system on M, then (log h, f 1,..., f n ) on H + M extends to a b-integrable on S 2 M. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

19 Action-angle coordinates for b-integrable systems The compact regular level sets of a b-integrable system are (Liouville) tori. Theorem (Kiesenhofer-M.-Scott) Around a Liouville torus there exist coordinates (p 1,..., p n, θ 1,..., θ n ) : U B n T n such that ω U = c p 1 dp 1 dθ 1 + n dp i dθ i, (3) i=2 and the level sets of the coordinates p 1,..., p n correspond to the Liouville tori of the system. Reformulation of the result Integrable systems semilocally twisted cotangent lift a of a T n action by translations on itself to (T T n ). a We replace the Liouville form by c log p 1 dθ 1 + n i=2 pidθi. Eva Miranda (UPC) b-symplectic manifolds Semptember, / 27

20 Intermezzo on twisted b-cotangent lifts Consider G := S 1 R + S 1 acting on M := S 1 R 2 : (ϕ, a, α) (θ, x 1, x 2 ) := (θ + ϕ, ar α (x 1, x 2 )), with R α rotation. Its twisted b-cotangent lift gives focus-focus singularities on b-symplectic manifolds. The logarithmic Liouville one-form is λ := log p dθ + y 1 dx 1 + y 2 dx 2 and the moment map is µ := (f 1, f 2, f 3 ) with f 1 = λ, X # 1 = log p, f 2 = λ, X # 2 = x 1y 1 + x 2 y 2, f 3 = λ, X # 3 = x 1y 2 y 1 x 2.

21 Proof 1 Topology of the foliation. In a neighbourhood of a compact connected fiber the b-integrable system F is diffeomorphic to the b-integrable system on W := T n B n given by the projections p 1,..., p n 1 and log p n. 2 Uniformization of periods: We want to define integrals whose (b-)hamiltonian vector fields induce a T n action. Start with R n -action: Φ : R n (T n B n ) T n B n ((t 1,..., t n ), m) Φ (1) t 1 Φ (n) t n (m). Uniformize to get a T n action with fundamental vector fields Y i. 3 The vector fields Y i are Poisson vector fields (check L Yi L Yi ω = 0). 4 The vector fields Y i are Hamiltonian with primitives σ 1,..., σ n b C (W ). In this step the properties of b-cohomology are essential.use this action to drag a local normal form (Darboux-Carathéodory) in a whole neighbourhood.

26 KAM for b-symplectic manifolds Theorem (Kiesenhofer-M.-Scott) Consider T n Br n with the standard b-symplectic structure and consider the b-function H = k log y 1 + h(y) with h analytic. If the frequency map has a Diophantine value and is non-degenerate, then a Liouville torus on Z persists under sufficiently small perturbations of H. More precisely, if ɛ is sufficiently small, then the perturbed system H ɛ = H + ɛp (with P (ϕ, y) = log y 1 + f 1 ( ϕ, y) + y 1 f 2 (ϕ, y) + f 3 (ϕ 1, y 1 )) admits an invariant torus T. Moreover, there exists a diffeomorphism T n T close to the identity taking the flow γ t of the perturbed system on T to the linear flow on T n with frequency vector ( k+ɛk c, ω).
