Integrable problems of celestial mechanics in spaces of constant curvature (Q2487413)

The problem of the influence of curvature on the integrability of Hamiltonian systems is studied. More specifically, integrable systems on the sphere or in the Lobachevskii space are examined in terms of their topological properties. After a detailed description of topological invariants and bifurcations of integrable Hamiltonian systems, the generalizations of Kepler and two-fixed-centers problem are studied through Fomenko-Zieshang invariants. It is shown that these two problems transform into one another in spaces of constant curvature. Finally, the Lagrange problem where one of the attracting centers goes to infinity, is generalized for the case of Lobachevskii space.
