Equations of a rotating body with one point constrained to move freely on a plane (dancing top) are deduced from the Lagrangian variational problem. They formally look like the Euler-Poisson equations of a heavy body with fixed point, immersed in a fictitious gravity field. Using this analogy, we have found examples of analytical solutions for the case of a heavy symmetrical dancing top. They describe the motions with center of mass keeping its height fixed above the supporting plane. General solution to equations of a dancing top in terms of exponential of Hamiltonian field is given. An extra constraint, that take into account the reaction of supporting plane, leads to modification of the canonical Poisson structure and therefore the integrability according to Liouville is under the question.

  1. Dynamics of a relativistic discrete body: rigidity conditions, and covariant equations of motion

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Proposes Poincaré-covariant equations of motion for a discrete relativistic body with six dynamical degrees of freedom, allowing more general motions than Born's theory.

  2. An alternative interpretation of the Grioli gyroscope suspension points

    physics.class-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An asymmetric heavy gyroscope can regularly precess only when its suspension point lies on one of two lines marking where the intermediate and largest moments of inertia exchange order, with exactly two motions.
