In this paper, we derive equations of motion for the normal-order, the symmetric-order and the antinormal-order quantum characteristic functions, applicable for general Hamiltonian systems. We do this by utilizing the `characteristic form'…

Classical field theory is considered as a theory of unparametrized surfaces embedded in a configuration space, which accommodates, in a symmetric way, spacetime positions and field values. Dynamics is defined by a (Hamiltonian) constraint…
Continuum mechanics can be formulated in the Lagrangian frame (addressing motion of individual continuum particles) or in the Eulerian frame (addressing evolution of fields in an inertial frame). There is a canonical Hamiltonian structure…
A method to construct Hamiltonian theories for systems of both ordinary and partial differential equations is presented. The knowledge of a Lagrangian is not at all necessary to achieve the result. The only ingredients required for the…

We argue here that, as it happens in Classical and Quantum Mechanics, where it has been proven that alternative Hamiltonian descriptions can be compatible with a given set of equations of motion, the same holds true in the realm of…
In principle, non-Hermitian quantum equations of motion can be formulated using as a starting point either the Heisenberg's or the Schr\"odinger's picture of quantum dynamics. Here it is shown in both cases how to map the algebra of…

Using a group theoretical approach we derive an equation of motion for a mixed quantum-classical system. The quantum-classical bracket entering the equation preserves the Lie algebra structure of quantum and classical mechanics: The bracket…
One classical theory, as determined by an equation of motion or set of classical trajectories, can correspond to many unitarily {\em in}equivalent quantum theories upon canonical quantization. This arises from a remarkable ambiguity, not…
Hamiltonian mechanics describes the evolution of a system through its Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian typically also represents the energy observable, a Noether-conserved quantity associated with the time-invariance of the law of evolution. In…
The Lie product and the order relation are viewed as defining structures for Hamiltonian dynamical systems. Their admissible combinations are singled out by the requirement that the group of the Lie automorphisms be contained in the group…
