Dynamics in the Kepler problem on the Heisenberg group
We study the nonholonomic motion of a point particle on the Heisenberg group around the fixed “sun” placed at the origin whose potential is given by the fundamental solution of the sub-Laplacian. In contrast with several recent papers that approach this problem as a variational one (hence a control...

Zusammenfassung: | We study the nonholonomic motion of a point particle on the Heisenberg group around the fixed “sun” placed at the origin whose potential is given by the fundamental solution of the sub-Laplacian. In contrast with several recent papers that approach this problem as a variational one (hence a control problem) we study the equations of dynamical motion which are non-variational in nonholonomic mechanics. We find three independent first integrals of the system and show that its bounded trajectories are wound up around certain surfaces of the fourth order. We also describe some particular cases of trajectories. |
