We describe natural K\"ahler or para-K\"ahler structures of the spaces of geodesics of pseudo-Riemannian space forms and relate the local geometry of hypersurfaces of space forms to that of their normal congruences, or Gauss maps, which are…

Invariant Lagrangians yield invariant Euler-Lagrange equations, and it was discussed in the literature how to compute those using various local methods. The focus of this paper is on global algebraic differential invariants. In this case…
In this article, Euler-Lagrangian dynamics explain that the two particle interaction has non-conservative forces about the frame of the center of mass. This interpretation clarifies the underlying interaction and the system descriptions…
