Arithmetic Euler top (Q730030)

The theory of differential equations has an arithmetic analogue in which derivatives of functions are replaced by Fermat quotients of numbers. Many classical differential equations (Riccati, Weierstrass, Painlevé, etc.) were previously shown to possess arithmetic analogues. The Euler rigid body motion express the free motion of a rigid body around a fixed point (the Euler top). This is a system of \(3\) ordinary (non-linear) differential equations in \(3\) variables. And it is well known that is one of the simplest examples of algebraically completely integrable systems. The aim of this paper is to introduce and to develop an arithmetic analogue of the Euler differential equations for the rigid body.
