Polynomial integrability of the Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous potential of degree − 3

In this paper, we study the polynomial integrability of natural Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom having a homogeneous potential of degree kk given either by a polynomial, or by an inverse of a polynomial. For k=−2,−1,…,3,4k=−2,−1,…,3,4, their polynomial integrability has been characterized. Here, we have two main results. First, we characterize the polynomial integrability of those Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous potential of degree −3. Second, we extend a relation between the nontrivial eigenvalues of the Hessian of the potential calculated at a Darboux point to a family of Hamiltonian systems with potentials given by an inverse of a homogeneous polynomial. This relation was known for such Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous polynomial potentials. Finally, we present three open problems related with the polynomial integrability of Hamiltonian systems with a rational potential.

► Hamiltonian systems with potential given by an inverse of a homogeneous polynomial of degree 3. ► Its analytic integrability is characterized. ► Hamiltonian systems with potential given by an inverse of a homogeneous polynomial of arbitrary degree. ► We provide a relation between the eigenvalues of the Darboux points.
