On Hamiltonian flows whose orbits are straight lines (Q379866): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the so-called affine integrable Hamiltonians which are analytic -- described by homogeneous polynomials. They give necessary and sufficient conditions for such Hamiltonians to be shear Hamiltonians. For example, every affine integrable polynomial Hamiltonian that is homogeneous of degree 3 is shear but also some other types of conditions are also given. Commutators and quadratic functions are discussed within the same framework.
