AbstractThe Keplerproblem is the problem of the motion of a point mass in the gravitational field of another point mass. We shall discuss various approaches to this problem, in classical, in quantum mechanics and in relativity.
ObjectiveUnderstanding of techniques for the solution and symmetries of classical physical problems.
ContentVarious derivations of the Kepler laws from Newton's laws. Anomalies and the Kepler equation. Hamiltonian formalism and integrable Hamiltonian systems. Symmetries and geometric regularizations of the Kepler problem. The hydrogen atom in quantum mechanics. The Schwarzschild metric
