The Weizmann Institute of Science Chaotic Hamiltonian Dynamics.
Most Hamiltonian systems are chaotic.
Nevertheless, much information about the structure of their solutions may be found. In this course we will study some of the available tools for anaylyzing such systems and discuss the many open questions regarding the nature of their solutions. Physical motivation will be the main guidline for the mathematical questions we will address. Each class a short assignment will be given, and a few possible projects will be listed. Homework for lectures 2-5.
