Abstract
We consider a billiard system inside a ring formed by two ellipses with common foci \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) affected by Coulomb forces, condensed in \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) with charges \(\gamma_1\) and \(\gamma_2\), respectively. The reflection from the boundary of the domain is supposed to be essentially elastic. This billiard is Liouville integrable in terms of piecewise smoothness. An explicit formula of the additional first integral was found. We study the topology of the Liouville foliation of this system in several cases: \(\gamma_1<0,\gamma_2=0\) (Kepler case); \(\gamma_1>0,\gamma_2=0\); \(\gamma_1=\gamma_2\). For each of these cases, Fomenko and Fomenko–Zieschang invariants are calculated.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Mathematical Physics is a peer-reviewed periodical that deals with the full range of topics subsumed by that discipline, which lies at the foundation of much of contemporary science. Thus, in addition to mathematical physics per se, the journal coverage includes, but is not limited to, functional analysis, linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, algebras, quantization, quantum field theory, modern differential and algebraic geometry and topology, representations of Lie groups, calculus of variations, asymptotic methods, random process theory, dynamical systems, and control theory.
