QMAP Colloquium: Superintegrable systems
Special Events| Speaker: | Nicolai Reshetikhin, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Nov 21 2017, 11:00AM |
A superintegrable Hamiltonian system on a 2n-dimensional phase space M is a Hamiltonian dynamical system with k Poisson commuting integrals of motion and 2n-k integrals of motion, which form a Poisson subalgebra in the algebra of functions on M. Commuting integrals generate the Poisson center of this subalgebra. Invariant tori in such systems are isotropic k-dimensional submanifolds. After an overview of superintegrability a series of example which will be given followed by a discussion of quantization.
Coffee at 10:45. Lunch with the speaker in MSB courtyard straight after the talk.
