The problem of the motion of a solid in an ideal fluid. Integration of the Clebsch's case (Q5937987)

This paper deals with a geometric approach to the integration of Clebsch's case of equations describing the motion of a solid body in an ideal fluid. This problem is defined by a nonlinear system of 6 differential equations admitting 4 polynomial first integrals. The author shows that the intersection of surface levels of these integrals can be completed to an Abelian surface, i.e., a 2-dimensional algebraic torus. Moreover, he proves that the problem can be linearized, i.e., it can be written in terms of Abelian integrals on a Prym variety of a genus 3 curve obtained naturally.
