Integrability of Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous potentials of degrees \(\pm 2\). An application of higher order variational equations




Abstract: The present work is the first of a serie of two papers, in which we analyse the higher variational equations associated to natural Hamiltonian systems, in their attempt to give Galois obstruction to their integrability. We show that the higher variational equations VEp for pgeq2, although complicated they are, have very particular algebraic structure. Preceisely they are solvable if VE1 is virtually Abelian since they are solvable inductively by what we call the emph{second level integrals}. We then give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of these second level integrals for VEp to be virtually Abelian (see Theorem 3.1). Then, we apply the above to potentials of degree k=pm2 by considering their VEp along Darboux points. And this because their VE1 does not give any obstruction to the integrablity. In Theorem 1.2, we show that under non-resonance conditions, the only degree two integrable potential is the emph{harmonic oscillator}. In contrast for degree -2 potentials, all the VEp along Darboux points are virtually Abelian (see Theorem 1.3)
