Hamiltonian Monodromy in a Tavis-Cummings System with an $A_2$ Singularity

TL;DR

This paper explores a novel three-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system derived from the Tavis-Cummings model, revealing unique singular fiber topology, bifurcation structure, and Hamiltonian monodromy related to an $A_2$ singularity.

Contribution

It introduces a new integrable system with an $A_2$ singularity, analyzing its global topology, bifurcation diagram, and monodromy, expanding understanding of higher-dimensional singular Lagrangian fibrations.

Findings

The singular fiber is homeomorphic to S^2×S^1 with an $A_2$ singularity.

The system's bifurcation diagram and global topology are characterized.

Hamiltonian monodromy is explicitly computed for the system.

Abstract

Singular Lagrangian fibrations arising from three-degree-of-freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems remain largely unexplored. While several results describe the global structure of large classes of systems with two degrees of freedom, only a few examples are understood in higher dimensions. We present a three-degree-of-freedom system derived from the two-spin Tavis-Cummings model whose singular Lagrangian fibration exhibits a topology that has not been observed in other physical models. We show that the most degenerate singular fiber is homeomorphic to $\mathbf{S}^2\times\mathbf{S}^1$ with a singularity of $A_2$ type. We further describe the bifurcation diagram and the global topology of the fibration, and we compute its Hamiltonian monodromy.
