Abstract:
We consider a rigid body possessing 3 mutually perpendicular planes of symmetry,sinking in an ideal fluid. We prove that the general solution to the equations of motion branchesin the complex time plane, and that the equations consequently are not algebraically integrable.We show that there are solutions with an infinitely-sheeted Riemannian surface.
