Smooth Conjugacy of Hamiltonian Flows

on Two-Dimensional Surfaces

7.1. CONSTRUCTING SMOOTH INVARIANTS

ON 2-ATOMS

In this chapter we study the question on the classication of Hamiltonian vector

elds with one degree of freedom in the smooth case. Of course, all the topological

invariants constructed in the preceding chapter remain smooth invariants, but this

is not enough for the smooth classication. However, although the set of smooth

invariants is much bigger than that of topological invariants, the construction

of smooth invariants is simpler and more natural.
