Abstract:	In this work we consider the Nos'e-Hoover equation for a one dimensional oscillator x˙ = −y − xz, y˙ = x, z˙ = α(x2 − 1). It models the interaction of a particle with a heat-bath. We contribute to the understanding of its global dynamics, or more precisely, to the topological structure of its orbits by studying the integrability problem. We prove that α = 0 is the only value of the parameter for which the system is integrable, and in this case we provide an explicit expression for its first integrals.
