Abstract

We study periodic solutions for a quasi-linear system, which is the so called dispersionless Lax reduction of the Benney moments chain. This question naturally arises in search of integrable Hamiltonian systems of the form $ H=p^2/2+u(q,t) $ Our main result classifies completely periodic solutions for 3 by 3 system. We prove that the only periodic solutions have the form of traveling waves, so in particular, the potential $u$ is a function of a linear combination of $t$ and $q$. This result implies that the there are no nontrivial cases of existence of the fourth power integral of motion for $H$: if it exists, then it is equal necessarily to the square of the quadratic one. Our method uses two new general observations. The first is the genuine non-linearity of the maximal and minimal eigenvalues for the system. The second observation uses the compatibility conditions of Gibonns-Tsarev in order to give certain exactness for the system in Riemann invariants. This exactness opens a possibility to apply the Lax analysis of blow up of smooth solutions, which usually does not work for systems of higher order.

Extended Future Tube Conjecture for Unipotent Subgroups

Let $\Omega$ be the Lorentz future cone in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to the Lorentz product and let $T^M$ be the $M$-fold product of the future tube $T=\mathbb{R}^{d+1}+i\Omega$. The Lorentz group $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$ acts diagonally on $T^M$, and its complexification $\mathrm{SO}(1,d)^\mathbb{C}$ acts on $\mathbb{C}^{(d+1)\times M}$. We prove that the domain $G^\mathbb{C}\cdot T^M$ is a Stein manifold for any connected unipotent subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$.

The First Correction Term in the Asymptotic Expansion of Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian States

Let $\Lambda$ be a compact Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifold of a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a holomorphic prequantum line bundle. We study the asymptotic expansion of the Lagrangian states associated with $\Lambda$. In particular, we compute explicitly the first nontrivial correction term and show that it is expressed in terms of geometric invariants of the ambient K\"ahler manifold and the Lagrangian submanifold, including their scalar curvatures, the second fundamental form, and the mean curvature. As a consequence, we obtain the corresponding second-order asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Lagrangian states.

Classification of Legendrian doubles and suspensions

We define a construction of Legendrians inside contact manifolds that arise by doubling an exact Lagrangian filling in the page of an open book decomposition. This can be seen as a generalization of a previous construction by Courte and Ekholm to arbitrary open books. These Legendrians, called Legendrian doubles, are shown to admit regular flexible exact Lagrangian fillings, and they are thus classified up to Legendrian isotopy by classical data. Finally, we show that the Legendrian suspension construction, as defined by Arikan and the author in previous work,-this is a Legendrian contained inside a page of an open book that is obtained by using Seidel's suspension of Lefschetz fibrations- is a Legendrian double.
