Abstract

The article formulates the classical three-body problem in conformal-Euclidean space (Riemannian manifold), and its equivalence to the Newton three-body problem is mathematically rigorously proved. It is shown that a curved space with a local coordinate system allows us to detect new hidden symmetries of the internal motion of a dynamical system, which allows us to reduce the three-body problem to the 6th order system. A new approach makes the system of geodesic equations with respect to the evolution parameter of a dynamical system (internal time) fundamentally irreversible. To describe the motion of three-body system in different random environments, the corresponding stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are obtained. Using these SDEs, Fokker-Planck-type equations are obtained that describe the joint probability distributions of geodesic flows in phase and configuration spaces. The paper also formulates the quantum three-body problem in conformal-Euclidean space. In particular, the corresponding wave equations have been obtained for studying the three-body bound states, as well as for investigating multichannel quantum scattering in the framework of the concept of internal time. This allows us to solve the extremely important quantum-classical correspondence problem for dynamical Poincaré systems.

Highlights

  • One geometry cannot be more accurate than another, it may only be more convenient

  • We prove the equivalence of the original Newton three-body problem to the problem of geodesic flows on a Riemannian manifold

  • The main problem is to prove that the 6th order system (26) is equivalent to the original three-particle Newtonian problem (16). That both representations will be equivalent, if we prove that there exists continuous one-to-one mappings between the two following manifolds E6 and M, where E6 ⊂ R6 is a subspace allocated from the Euclidean space R6 taking into account the condition: g({ρ}) = E − V({ρ}) = 0

Summary

Introduction

One of the important and insufficiently studied problems of the theory of collisions is the accurate account of the contribution of multichannel scattering to a specific elementary atomic-molecular process. As shown in a series of works [25,26,27,28], a representation developed on the basis of Riemannian geometry allows one to detect new hidden internal symmetries of dynamical systems The latter allows one to realize a more complete integration of the three-body problem, which in the general case in the sense of Poincaré is a non-integrable dynamical system. The proof of the irreversibility of the general three-body problem with respect to the internal time of the system allows us to solve the fundamentally important problem of quantum-classical correspondence for dynamical Poincaré systems. In Appendix part which includes Appendices A–G, provides important proof supporting the mathematical rigor of the developed approaches
