Dynamical systems can be quantised only if they are Hamiltonian. This prompts the question from which our talk gets its title. We show how the simple predator-prey equation and the damped harmonic oscillator can be considered to be…
A theory of transformation is presented for the diagonalization of a Hamiltonian that is quadratic in creation and annihilation operators or in coordinates and momenta. It is the systemization and theorization of Dirac and…
In a paper with Jean-Paul Dufour in 1999 \cite{DufourZung-Nambu1999}, we gave a classification of linear Nambu structures, and obtained linearization results for Nambu structures with a nondegenerate linear part. There was a case left open…
The Darbroux transformation is generalized for time-dependent Hamiltonian systems which include a term linear in momentum and a time-dependent mass. The formalism for the $N$-fold application of the transformation is also established, and…
We introduce and study the basic notion of polarized Poisson manifolds generalizing the classical case of Poisson manifolds and extend this last notion for the ${k-}$% symplectic stuctures. And also, we show that for any polarized…
In Ref.~\cite{Sag} we proposed a geometric formulation of generalized Nambu mechanics. In the present paper we extend the class of Nambu systems by replacing the stringent condition of constancy of 3-form by closedness. We also explore the…
We study classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a probability distribution to the physical time, which is assumed to be discrete. - This is motivated by the ``timeless''…
We discuss recent work with E.Floratos (JHEP 1004:036,2010) on Nambu Dynamics of Intersecting Surfaces underlying Dissipative Chaos in $R^{3}$. We present our argument for the well studied Lorenz and R\"{o}ssler strange attractors. We…
In this work we introduce contact Hamiltonian mechanics, an extension of symplectic Hamiltonian mechanics, and show that it is a natural candidate for a geometric description of non-dissipative and dissipative systems. For this purpose we…
We prove the existence of a unitary transformation that enables two arbitrarily given Hamiltonians in the same Hilbert space to be transformed into one another. The result is straightforward yet, for example, it lays the foundation to…
We start with an overview of the "generalized Hamiltonian dynamics" introduced in 1973 by Y. Nambu, its motivations, mathematical background and subsequent developments -- all of it on the classical level. This includes the notion (not…
Takhtajan has recently studied the consistency conditions for Nambu brackets, and suggested that they have to be skew-symmetric, and satisfy Leibnitz rule and the Fundamental Identity (FI, it is a generalization of the Jacobi identity). If…
In this paper we obtain a Hamilton-Jacobi theory for nonholonomic mechanical systems. The results are applied to a large class of nonholonomic mechanical systems, the so-called \v{C}aplygin systems.
An example of mechanical system whose configuration space is direct product of a curved space and the local group of rotations, is presented. The system is considered as a model of spinning particle moving in the space. The Hamiltonian…
Despite the advances in the development of numerical methods analytical approaches still play the key role on the way towards a deeper understanding of many-particle systems. In this regards, diagonalization schemes for Hamiltonians…
Phase Space is the framework best suited for quantizing superintegrable systems, naturally preserving the symmetry algebras of the respective hamiltonian invariants. The power and simplicity of the method is fully illustrated through new…
Simple constructions and protocols are demonstrated to allow the implementation of universal quantum computation on an arbitrarily large quantum system by controlling a fixed number of spins, vastly reducing the engineering requirements in…
We find a relationship between unitary transformations of the dynamics of quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians and gauge theories. In particular, we show that the nonrelativistic dynamics of spin-$\frac12$ particles in a…
Reducible constrained Hamiltonian systems are quantized accordingly an irreducible BRST manner. Our procedure is based on the construction of an irreducible theory which is physically equivalent with the original one. The equivalence…
