Abstract:
We consider natural complex Hamiltonian systems with
$n$ degrees of
freedom given by a Hamiltonian function which is a sum of the standard
kinetic energy and a homogeneous polynomial potential
$V$ of degree
$k>2$. The well known Morales–Ramis theorem gives the strongest known
necessary conditions for the Liouville integrability of such systems. It
states that for each
$k$ there exists an explicitly known infinite set
${\mathcal M}_k\subset{\mathbb Q}$ such that if the system is integrable,
then all eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix
$V''({\boldsymbol d})$ calculated at a
non-zero
${\boldsymbol d}\in{\mathbb C}^n$ satisfying
$V'({\boldsymbol d})={\boldsymbol d}$,
belong to
${\mathcal M}_k$.
The aim of this paper is, among others, to sharpen this result. Under
certain genericity assumption concerning
$V$ we prove the following fact.
For each
$k$ and
$n$ there exists a finite set
${\mathcal I}_{n,k}\subset{\mathcal M}_k$
such that if the system is integrable, then all eigenvalues of the Hessian
matrix
$V''({\boldsymbol d})$ belong to
${\mathcal I}_{n,k}$. We give an algorithm which
allows to find sets
${\mathcal I}_{n,k}$.
We applied this results for the case
$n=k=3$ and we found all integrable
potentials satisfying the genericity assumption. Among them several are
new and they are integrable in a highly non-trivial way. We found three
potentials for which the additional first integrals are of degree 4 and 6
with respect to the momenta.
