Differential Galois approach to the non-integrability of the heavy top problem

Abstract: We study integrability of the Euler-Poisson equations describing the motion of a rigid body with one fixed point in a constant gravity field. Using the Morales-Ramis theory and tools of differential algebra we prove that a symmetric heavy top is integrable only in the classical cases of Euler, Lagrange, and Kovalevskaya and is partially integrable only in the Goryachev-Chaplygin case. Our proof is alternative to that given by Ziglin (

“…If the Hamiltonian system (1.1) is real-meromorphically integrable in U R , then its complexification is also meromorphically integrable in U C . Such real-meromorphically nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems were also discussed by using a different approach in [13,14,32]. (iii) If x + = x − , then condition (2.7) automatically holds, so that conclusion (2.8) is necessary for the real-meromorphic integrability of (1.1).…”

“…Remark: When comparing our system (1.2) with its "twin brother"-the EulerPoisson equations of heavy rigid body motion (see [2,3,14,15,18]) we conclude from [21] (see also [11]) that for these equations the exact counterpart of Theorem 1.1 holds. Nevertheless, the exact counterpart of Theorem 3.1 for EulerPoisson equations fails.…”
