The system considers the motion of a free ([[friction]]less) [[Subatomic particle|particle]] on a surface of constant negative [[curvature]], the simplest compact [[Riemann surface]], which is the surface of genus two: a donut with two holes. Hadamard was able to show that every particle trajectory moves away from every other: that all trajectories have a positive [[Lyapunov exponent]].
 
Frank Steiner argues that Hadamard's study should be considered to be the first-ever examination of a chaotic dynamical system, and that Hadamard should be considered the first discoverer of chaos.<ref>{{Cite book |first=Frank |last=Steiner |chapter=Quantum Chaos |title={{lang|de|Schlaglichter der Forschung: Zum 75.

The system is particularly important in that in 1963, [[Yakov Sinai]], in studying [[Sinai's billiards]] as a model of the classical ensemble of a Boltzmann-Gibbs gas, was able to show that the motion of the atoms in the gas follow the trajectories in the Hadamard dynamical system.
 
==Exposition==
The motion studied is that of a free particle sliding frictionlessly on the surface, namely, one having the [[Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics)|Hamiltonian]]
 
:<math>H(p,q)=\frac{1}{2m} p_i p_j g^{ij}(q)</math>
 
where ''m'' is the mass of the particle, <math>q^i</math>, <math>i=1,2</math> are the coordinates on the manifold, <math>p_i</math> are the [[conjugate momenta]]:
 
:<math>p_i=mg_{ij} \frac{dq^j}{dt}</math>
 
and
 
:<math>ds^2 = g_{ij}(q) dq^i dq^j\,</math>
 
is the [[metric tensor]] on the manifold. Because this is the free-particle Hamiltonian, the solution to the [[Hamilton–Jacobi equation|Hamilton–Jacobi equations of motion]] are simply given by the [[geodesic]]s on the manifold.
 
Hadamard was able to show that all geodesics are unstable, in that they all diverge exponentially from one another, as <math>e^{\lambda t}</math> with positive [[Lyapunov exponent]]
 
:<math>\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{mR^2}}</math>
 
with ''E'' the energy of a trajectory, and <math>K=-1/R^2</math> being the constant negative curvature of the surface.

Myrtle Benny is how I'm called and I really feel comfortable when individuals use the complete title. To gather cash is what his family and him appreciate. Her spouse and her reside in Puerto Rico but she will have to transfer one working day or another. He used to be unemployed but now he is a meter reader.
