Periodic Orbits of Hamiltonian Flows near Symplectic Critical Submanifolds
In this paper we produce a lower bound for the number of periodic orbits of certain Hamiltonian vector fields near Bott-nondegenerate symplectic critical submanifolds. This result is then related to the problem of finding closed orbits of the motion of a charged low energy particle on a Riemannian manifold under the influence of a magnetic field.
متن کاملStability of halo orbits.
We predict new populations of trapped nonequatorial ("halo") orbits of charged dust grains about an arbitrary axisymmetric planet. Simple equilibrium and stability conditions are derived, revealing dramatic differences between positively and negatively charged grains in prograde or retrograde orbits. Implications for the Cassini mission to Saturn are discussed.
متن کاملTheory of plasma confinement in non-axisymmetric magnetic fields.
The theory of plasma confinement by non-axisymmetric magnetic fields is reviewed. Such fields are used to confine fusion plasmas in stellarators, where in contrast to tokamaks and reversed-field pinches the magnetic field generally does not possess any continuous symmetry. The discussion is focussed on magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium conditions, collisionless particle orbits, and the kinetic th...
متن کاملAn Efficient Conservative Integrator with a Chain Regularization for the Few-body Problem
We design an efficient orbital integration scheme for the general N-body problem that preserves all the conserved quantities except the angular momentum. This scheme is based on the chain concept and is regarded as an extension of a d’Alembert-type scheme for constrained Hamiltonian systems. It also coincides with the discretetime general three-body problem for particle number N = 3. Although t...
متن کاملA map for eccentric orbits in triaxial potentials
We construct a simple symplectic map to study the dynamics of eccentric orbits in non-spherical potentials. The map offers a dramatic improvement in speed over traditional integration methods, while accurately representing the qualitative details of the dynamics. We focus attention on planar, non-axisymmetric power-law potentials, in particular the logarithmic potential. We confirm the presence...
