Harmonic Oscillators and Two-by-two Matrices in Symmetry Problems in Physicsby Young Suh Kim (ed.) - MDPI AG
With a degree of exaggeration, modern physics is the physics of harmonic oscillators and two-by-two matrices. Indeed, they constitute the basic language for the symmetry problems in physics, and thus the main theme of this journal.

Lectures on Integrable Hamiltonian Systemsby G.Sardanashvily - arXiv
We consider integrable Hamiltonian systems in a general setting of invariant submanifolds which need not be compact. This is the case a global Kepler system, non-autonomous integrable Hamiltonian systems and systems with time-dependent parameters.
