Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation and 3-dimensional integrable Kepler billiards
Venue: Lei Zhao - Aula 2 (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Torino)
It is known that any billiard system in a Kepler force field with a conic section focused at the Kepler center is integrable (Panov '94, Gallavotti-Jauslin '20, Takeuchi-Zhao '21). From this, it is not a surprise that by rotation this gives rise to integrable Kepler billiards in three dimensions. On the other hand, the 3-dimensional Kepler problem are linked to the 4-dimensional Hooke problem by a transformation due to Kustaanheimo and Stiefel. It is again not a surprise that integrable billiards within these force fields are related. In this talk, I shall discuss that the Hooke-Kepler billiard link by Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation suggests that there should be no non-rotational invariant 3-dimensional integrable Kepler billiards, and this is not so evident.
Joint work with Airi Takeuchi from Augsburg.
