This book deals with the theory of Poincaré--Birkhoff normal forms, studying symmetric systems in particular. Attention is focused on general Lie point symmetries, and not just on symmetries acting linearly. Some results on the simultaneous normalization of a vector field describing a dynamical system and vector fields describing its symmetry are presented and a perturbative approach is also used. Attention is given to the problem of convergence of the normalizing transformation in the presence of symmetry, with some other extensions of the theory. The results are discussed for the general case of dynamical systems and also for the specific Hamiltonian setting.
Questo libro trae la sua origine dagli appunti preparati per le
lezioni di Metodi Matematici della Fisica tenute al Dipartimento di
Fisica dell'Universita di Pisa, e via via sistemati, raffinati e
aggiornati nel corso di molti anni di insegnamento. L'intento
generale e di fornire una presentazione per quanto possibile
semplice e diretta dei metodi matematici basilari e rilevanti per
la Fisica. Anche allo scopo di mantenere questo testo entro i
limiti di un manuale di dimensioni contenute e di agevole
consultazione, sono stati spesso sacrificati i dettagli tecnici
delle dimostrazioni matematiche (o anzi le dimostrazioni per
intero) e anche i formalismi eccessivi, che tendono a nascondere la
vera natura dei problemi. Al contrario, si e cercato di evidenziare
- per quanto possibile - le idee sottostanti e le motivazioni che
conducono ai diversi procedimenti. L'obiettivo principale e quello
di mettere in condizione chi ha letto questo libro di acquisire gli
strumenti adatti e le conoscenze di base che gli permettano di
affrontare senza difficolta anche testi piu avanzati e impegnativi.
Questa nuova Edizione conserva la struttura generale della prima
Edizione, ma e arricchita dall'inserimento di numerosi esempi (e
controesempi), con nuove osservazioni e chiarimenti su tutti gli
argomenti proposti: Serie di Fourier, Spazi di Hilbert, Operatori
lineari, Funzioni di Variabile complessa, Trasformate di Fourier e
di Laplace, Distribuzioni. Inoltre, le prime nozioni della Teoria
dei Gruppi, delle Algebre di Lie e delle Simmetrie in Fisica (che
erano confinate in una Appendice nella Prima Edizione) vengono ora
proposte in una forma sensibilmente ampliata, con vari esempi in
vista delle applicazioni alla Fisica. In particolare, due nuovi
Capitoli sono dedicati allo studio delle proprieta di simmetria
dell'atomo di idrogeno e dell'oscillatore armonico in Meccanica
Quantistica.

This book is the second edition, whose original mission was to
offer a new approach for students wishing to better understand the
mathematical tenets that underlie the study of physics. This
mission is retained in this book. The structure of the book is one
that keeps pedagogical principles in mind at every level. Not only
are the chapters sequenced in such a way as to guide the reader
down a clear path that stretches throughout the book, but all
individual sections and subsections are also laid out so that the
material they address becomes progressively more complex along with
the reader's ability to comprehend it. This book not only improves
upon the first in many details, but it also fills in some gaps that
were left open by this and other books on similar topics. The 350
problems presented here are accompanied by answers which now
include a greater amount of detail and additional guidance for
arriving at the solutions. In this way, the mathematical
underpinnings of the relevant physics topics are made as easy to
absorb as possible.
