Title
Symplectic classification of coupled angular momenta
Author
Abstract
The coupled angular momenta are a family of completely integrable systems that depend on three parameters and have a compact phase space. They correspond to the classical version of the coupling of two quantum angular momenta and they constitute one of the fundamental examples of so-called semitoric systems. Pelayo and Vu Ng9c have given a classification of semitoric systems in terms of five symplectic invariants. Three of these invariants have already been partially calculated in the literature for a certain parameter range, together with the linear terms of the so-called Taylor series invariant for a fixed choice of parameter values. In the present paper we complete the classification by calculating the polygon invariant, the height invariant, the twisting-index invariant, and the higher-order terms of the Taylor series invariant for the whole family of systems. We also analyse the explicit dependence of the coefficients of the Taylor series with respect to the three parameters of the system, in particular near the Hopf bifurcation where the focus-focus point becomes degenerate.
