Solvable Lie Algebras of Vector Fields and a Lie's Conjecture

We present a local and constructive differential geometric description of finite-dimensional solvable and transitive Lie algebras of vector fields. We show that it implies a Lie's conjecture for such…

Integrable systems in cosymplectic geometry

Motivated by the time-dependent Hamiltonian dynamics, we extend the notion of Arnold–Liouville and noncommutative integrability of Hamiltonian systems on symplectic manifolds to that on cosymplectic…

Jacobi Multipliers in Integrability and the Inverse Problem of Mechanics

The general theory of the Jacobi last multipliers in geometric terms is reviewed and the theory is applied to different problems in integrability and the inverse problem for one-dimensional mechanical systems.

Reduction and integrability: a geometric perspective

A geometric approach to integrability and reduction of dynamical system is developed from a modern perspective. The main ingredients in such analysis are the infinitesimal symmetries and the tensor…

The non-commutative integrability (NCI) is a property fulfilled by some Hamiltonian systems that ensures, among other things, the exact solvability of their corresponding equations of motion. The…

Remarks on a Lie Theorem on the Integrability of Differential Equations in Closed Form

Remarks on nilpotent Lie algebras of vector fields.

An extension of a theorem of Nagano on transitive Lie algebras

Let M be a real analytic manifold, and let L be a transitive Lie algebra of real analytic vector fields on M. A concept of completeness is introduced for such Lie algebras. Roughly speaking, L is…
