Abstract: Normal modes are intimately related to the quadratic approximation of a potential at its hyperbolic equilibria. Here we extend the notion to the case where the Taylor expansion for the potential at a critical point starts with higher order terms, and show that such an extension shares some of the properties of standard normal modes. Some symmetric examples are considered in detail.

Review text

The authors study Hamiltonian systems with Hamiltonian given by the sum of a classical kinetic energy term (a quadratic function of the momentum) and a potential energy term which is a homogeneous function of the position. Solutions to the equation of motion are found. They are in the form of normal modes, namely the position vector remains on a fixed line passing through the origin. The example of a potential energy which is homogenous of order four is studied in detail.
