报告简介：
Forces depending on position but which are not derivable from a potential, that is, forces with non-zero curl, give rise to dynamics that is not Hamiltonian or Lagrangian, while also being non-dissipative. Noether’s theorem does not apply, so the link between symmetries and conservation law’s is broken. The physical existence of curl forces has been controversial and the subject of controversy among engineers. But an example is familiar in optics: force on a dielectric particle in an optical field. Motion under curl forces near optical vortices can be understood in detail, and numemrics reveals a new kind of chaos. The full series of ‘superadiabatic’ correction forces is derived, leading to an exact slow manifold in which fast (internal) and slow (external) motion of the particle is separated.
