Abstract: In this paper we give geometric conditions so that the integral mapping of a Liouville integrable Hamiltonian system with a focus-focus equilibrium point has scattering monodromy. Using a complex version of the Morse lemma, we show that scattering monodromy is the same as the scattering monodromy of the standard focus-focus system.

Review text

In a previous paper \textit{L. Bates} and \textit{R. Cushman} [Cent. Eur. J. Math. 5, No. 3, 429--451 (2007; Zbl 1128.70008)] proved that the hyperbolic oscillator integrable Hamiltonian system with energy \(h = \xi_1 \eta_1 + \xi_2 \eta_2\) and angular momentum \(\ell = (1/2)(\xi_1^2 + \xi_2^2 - \eta_1^2 - \eta_2^2)\) has scattering monodromy; this means that the motion in \(\mathbb{R}^4\) of the full system projects in the \(\mathbb{R}^2\) plane corresponding to the \((\xi_1,\xi_2)\) coordinates into a branch of hyperbola; the angle \(\arctan[h/\ell]\) between the incoming and the outgoing asymptotes of this hyperbola is the scattering angle. In [\textit{H. R. Dullin} and \textit{H. Waalkens}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, No. 7, Article ID 070405, 4 p. (2008; Zbl 1228.81263)] it was shown that the quantum Kepler problem has scattering monodromy. In [\textit{K. Efstathiou} et al., J. Math. Phys. 58, No. 2, 022902, 22 p. (2017; Zbl 1368.37062)] the relation of scattering monodromy to the geometric monodromy of a toral fibration was treated using rotation forms. However, a geometric scattering monodromy theorem was not formulated. This paper remedies this omission.
