The Jacobi-Rosochatius problem on an ellipsoid: the Lax representations
and billiards
   [PDF]

Bozidar Jovanovic
The Lax representations of the geodesic flow, the Jacobi-Rosochatius problem and its perturbations by means of separable polynomial potentials, on a ellipsoid are constructed. We prove complete integrability in the case of a generic symmetric ellipsoid and describe analogous systems on complex projective spaces. Also, we consider billiards within an ellipsoid under the influence of the Hook and Rosochatius potentials between the impacts. A geometric interpretation of the integrability analogous to the classical Chasles and Poncelet theorems is given.
