Course objectives
Introduction to the theory of certain geometric structures used in modern mathematical physics and their applications in the theory of Hamiltonian systems.
Syllabus
  • - Basic differential geometry (manifolds, definition and basic properties of vector fields and differential forms and operations over them)
    - Hamiltonian systems (the Poisson structures and their properties, the Darboux theorem, Hamiltonian, the Hamilton equations, integrals of motion, complete integrability and the Liouville theorem, bihamiltonian systems)
    - The Hamilton-Jacobi theory and related issues (complete integral, the Jacobi integration method, the Hamilton--Jacobi equation, separation of variables, the action-angle variables)
