Several problems on dynamical systems and mechanics. (English) Zbl 1160.37026
The author discusses five open problems and, connected with them, the theory of dynamic systems of classical and quantum mechanics. These are the integrability of geodesic flow on algebraic surfaces; integrability and polynomial integrals for Hamiltonian systems with the Hamiltonian $$H=\frac{1}{2}(a y^{2}_{1}+ 2 b y_1 y_2+cy^{2}_{2}) + V(x_1, x_2)$$, where $$x_1, x_2$$ mod $$2\pi$$ are angular coordinates and $$y_1, y_2$$ the conjugate momenta; some problems concerned with polynomial conservation laws in quantum mechanics; two problems on instability for autonomous system of ODEs $$\dot x =v(x), x\in \mathbb{R}^n$$ with invariant measure with smooth density, when $$\text{div}(\rho v)=0, \rho(x)<0$$; problem of rolling motion of a disc.
