My research lies at the intersection of dynamical systems and symplectic geometry. More concretely, I work with semitoric systems, a specific type of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems defined on 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds, where one of the conserved quantities induces a global circular action and other additional conditions. These systems can be classified using five symplectic invariants, but their computation is troublesome. I develop computational methods to calculate them with mathematical software, using properties of elliptic integrals and the theory of complex elliptic curves.

Modern symplectic geometry in integrable Hamiltonian dynamical systems. 01/10/2015 - 30/09/2019

Abstract

This research project studies aspects of interactions between integrable Hamiltonian systems and modern symplectic geometry: The symplectic classification in the sense of Pelayo & Vu Ngoc's is completed for two seminal examples of semitoric systems, namely the coupled spin oscillator and coupled angular momenta. In addition, more general families are studied and partially classified.
