Two Integrable Cases of a Ball Rolling over a Sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$

We consider the nonholonomic problem of rolling without slipping and twisting of a balanced ball over a fixed sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$. By relating the system to a modified LR system, we prove that the problem always has an invariant measure. Moreover, this is a~$SO(n)$-Chaplygin system that reduces to the cotangent bundle $T^*S^{n-1}$. We present two integrable cases. The first one is obtained for a special inertia operator that allows the Chaplygin Hamiltonization of the reduced system. In the second case, we consider the rigid body inertia operator $\mathbb I\omega=I\omega+\omega I$, ${I=diag(I_1,\ldots,I_n)}$ with a symmetry $I_1=I_2=\ldots=I_{r} \ne I_{r+1}=I_{r+2}=\ldots=I_n$. It is shown that general trajectories are quasi-periodic, while for $r\ne 1$, $n-1$ the Chaplygin reducing multiplier method does not apply.

Keywords: nonholonomic Chaplygin systems, invariant measure, integrability
