Abstract

Let V be a four-dimensional complex symplectic vector space. This paper classifies those connected linear algebraic subgroups of the symplectic group Sp(V) that admit two independent rational invariants. As an application we show the non integrability of a three degree of freedom Hamiltonian system.
