Global Symplectic Polynomial Approximation of Area-Preserving Maps

Different methods are proposed and tested for transforming a nonlinear differential system, and more particularly a Hamiltonian one, into a map without having to integrate the whole orbit as in the well known Poincaré map technique . We construct a synthetic map, based on a global fitting, which satisfies the symplectic condition. Taking the Standard Map as a model problem we point our attention on methods suitable for comparing the model map and its synthetic counterpart. We test the agreement of the fitting on finer scales through the visual representation, the computation of the rotation number and the measure of the local distribution of the Lyapunov characteristic exponents. Comparing these results with those obtained by Froeschlé and Petit using a method based on Taylor interpolation, we show that the symplectic character is a crucial condition for the recovering of the finest details of a dynamical system. On the other hand the global character of our method makes the generalization to any system of differential equations difficult.     

A Direct Proof of the Nekhoroshev Theorem for Nearly Integrable Symplectic Maps

We provide the direct proof of the Nekhoroshev theorem on the stability of nearly integrable analytic symplectic maps. Specifically, we prove the stability of the actions for a number of iterations which grows exponentially with an inverse power of the norm of the perturbation by conjugating the generating function of the map to suitable normal forms with exponentially small remainder.Communicated by Eduard Zehndersubmitted 16/06/03, accepted 31/03/04

辛代数的极大幂零子代数的保李括积零的线性映射

Let F be a field with char F = 2, l a maximal nilpotent subalgebra of the symplectic algebra sp（2m,F）. In this paper, we characterize linear maps of l which preserve zero Lie brackets in both directions. It is shown that for m ≥ 4, a map φ of l preserves zero Lie brackets in both directions if and only if φ = ψcσT0λαφdηf, where ψc,σT0,λα,φd,ηf are the standard maps preserving zero Lie brackets in both directions.     

Connection across a Separatrix with Dissipation

Dissipative perturbations of strongly nonlinear oscillators that correspond to slowly varying double-well potentials are considered. The method of averaging, which describes the solution as nearly periodic, fails as the trajectory approaches the unperturbed separatrix, a homoclinic orbit of the saddle point, significantly before it is captured in either well. Nevertheless, perturbed initial conditions corresponding to the boundary of the basin of attraction for each well, which are the perturbed stable manifolds of the saddle point, are accurately determined using only the method of averaging modified by Melnikov energy ideas near the separatrix. To determine the amplitude and phase of the captured oscillations after crossing the separatrix, a transition region is constructed consisting of a large sequence of nearly solitary pulses along the separatrix. The amplitude and phases of the slowly varying nonlinear oscillations away from the separatrix, both before and after capture, are matched to this transition region. In this way, analytic connection formulas across the separatrix are obtained and are shown to depend on the perturbed initial conditions.

Symplectic Spreads

We construct an infinite family of symplectic spreads in spaces of odd rank and characteristic.     

Symplectic modules

A symplectic module is a finite group with a regular antisymmetric form. The paper determines sufficient conditions for the invariants of the maximal isotropic subgroups (Lagrangians), and asymptotic values for a lower bound of a group which contains Lagrangians of all symplectic modules of a fixed orderp ⁿ. These results have application to the splitting fields of universal division algebras.     

Symplectic meanders

Analogous to the 𝔰𝔩(n) case, we address the computation of the index of seaweed subalgebras of 𝔰𝔭(2n) by introducing graphical representations called symplectic meanders. Formulas for the algebra’s index may be computed by counting the connected components of its associated meander. In certain cases, formulas for the index can be given in terms of elementary functions.     

Symplectic Implosion

Let K be a compact Lie group. We introduce the process of symplectic implosion, which associates to every Hamiltonian K-manifold a stratified space called the imploded cross-section. It bears a resemblance to symplectic reduction, but instead of quotienting by the entire group, it cuts the symmetries down to a maximal torus of K. We examine the nature of the singularities and describe in detail the imploded cross-section of the cotangent bundle of K, which turns out to be identical to an affine variety studied by Gelfand, Popov, Vinberg, and others. Finally we show that "quantization commutes with implosion".     

Symplectic Matroids

A symplectic matroid is a collection B of k-element subsets of J = {1, 2, ..., n, 1*, 2*, ...; n*}, each of which contains not both of i and i* for every i n, and which has the additional property that for any linear ordering of J such that i j implies j* i* and i j* implies j i* for all i, j n, B has a member which dominates element-wise every other member of B. Symplectic matroids are a special case of Coxeter matroids, namely the case where the Coxeter group is the hyperoctahedral group, the group of symmetries of the n-cube. In this paper we develop the basic properties of symplectic matroids in a largely self-contained and elementary fashion. Many of these results are analogous to results for ordinary matroids (which are Coxeter matroids for the symmetric group), yet most are not generalizable to arbitrary Coxeter matroids. For example, representable symplectic matroids arise from totally isotropic subspaces of a symplectic space very similarly to the way in which representable ordinary matroids arise from a subspace of a vector space. We also examine Lagrangian matroids, which are the special case of symplectic matroids where k = n, and which are equivalent to Bouchet's symmetric matroids or 2-matroids.

Symplectic enumeration

Every complex projective space of odd dimension carries a natural contact structure. We give first steps towards the enumeration of curves in ℙ³ tangent to the contact structure. Such a curve is involutive in the sense that its homogeneous ideal is closed under Poisson bracket. Involutive curves in ℙ³ contained in a plane split as a union of concurrent lines. We give a formula for the number of plane involutive curves of a given degree in ℙ³ meeting the appropriate number of lines. We also discuss strategies to deal with the enumeration of involutive rational curves.

The Symplectic Monoid

In this paper, we describe explicitly the symplectic monoid ? and its Renner monoid ? using elementary methods. We refine the Bruhat–Renner decomposition of ? and analyze in detail the length function on ?. We then show that every element of ? has a unique canonical form decomposition, which is an analogue of the canonical form of elements in Chevalley groups. We also compute the order of ? over a finite field, and as a consequence we obtain a new combinatorial identity.     

Symplectic RK Methods and Symplectic PRK Methods with Real Eigenvalues

Properties of symplectic Runge-Kutta (RK) methods and symplectic partitioned Runge-Kutta (PRK) methods with real eigenvalues are discussed in this paper. It is shown that an s stage such method can‘t reach order more than s 1. Particularly, we prove that no symplectic RK method with real eigenvalues exists in stage s of order s 1 when s is even. But an example constructed by using the W-transformation shows that PRK method of this type does not necessarily meet this order barrier. Another useful way other than W-transformation to construct symplectic PRK method with real eigenvalues is then presented. Finally, a class of efficient symplectic methods is recommended.     

Symplectic orthogonality spaces

Let E be a finite dimensional vector space over the Galois field GF(2). Let lin(E) denote the set of one-dimensional subspaces of E. Let Φ be the symplectic inner product on E. Consider the elements of lin(E) as vertices of a graph, two vertices being connected exactly when they are distinct and orthogonal with respect to Φ. This graph is characterized abstractly.
