Reduction and unfolding: the Kepler problem

چکیده
In this paper we show, in a systematic way, how to relate the Kepler problem to the isotropic harmonic oscillator. Unlike previous approaches, our constructions are carried over in the Lagrangian formalism dealing, with second order vector fields. We therefore provide a tangent bundle version of the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel map.

Reduction and Unfolding for Quantum Systems: the Hydrogen Atom
Reduction procedures have been extensively studied in the classical setting, dealing mainly with Hamiltonian dynamics ([1], [2], [3]) but also Lagrangian dynamics or more general ones ([4],[5], [6]). It has been noted that different classes of completely integrable systems arise as reduction of free (or simpler) ones in higher dimensions ([7]): this has been the motivation for the development o...
متن کاملThe five-dimensional Kepler Problem as an SU(2) Gauge System: Algebraic Constraint Quantization
Starting from the structural similarity between the quantum theory of gauge systems and that of the Kepler problem, an SU(2) gauge description of the fivedimensional Kepler problem is given. This non-abelian gauge system is used as a testing ground for the application of an algebraic constraint quantization scheme which can be formulated entirely in terms of observable quantities. For the quant...
متن کاملUnfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
متن کاملA Systematic Illustration on Reduction of N-body Problem with Application to Molecular Systems
6n 3n T 6n ≅ and * 3 6 n T n ≅ . This means that 6N possibly-nonlinear first order ODEs altogether describe the dynamics. It will be great if the dimension could be reduced. In fact, such idea was initiated by pioneer physicists ~400 years ago in solving Kepler problem [1, 2], in which the 2-body problem of sunearth-gravity is studied with the aid of conservations of total linear momentum and t...
متن کاملOn a Connection between Maximum Variance Unfolding, Shortest Path Problems and IsoMap
We present an equivalent formulation of the Maximum Variance Unfolding (MVU) approach to nonlinear dimensionality reduction in terms of distance matrices. This yields a novel interpretation of the MVU problem as a regularized version of the shortest path problem on a graph. This interpretation enables us to establish an asymptotic convergence result for the case that the underlying data are dra...
