The aim of the paper is to study some dynamic aspects coming from a tangent form, i.e. a time dependent differential form on a tangent bundle. The action on curves of a tangent form is natural associated with that of a second order…
We introduce the concept of gauged Lagrangian $1$-forms, extending the notion of Lagrangian $1$-forms to the setting of gauge theories. This general formalism is applied to a natural geometric Lagrangian $1$-form on the cotangent bundle of…
We reconsider both the global and local stability of solutions of continuously evolving dynamical systems from a geometric perspective. We clarify that an unambiguous definition of stability generally requires the choice of additional…
We study a number of different ingredients, related to long range order observed in lattice QCD simulations, using a simple "deformed QCD" model. This model is a weakly coupled gauge theory, which however has all the relevant crucial…
The structure of a diffeomorphism invariant Lagrangians for an extended object W embedded in a bulk space M is discussed by following a close analogy with the relativistic particle in electromagnetic field as a system that is…
A gauge independent method of obtaining the reduced space of constrained dynamical systems is discussed in a purely lagrangian formalism. Implications of gauge fixing are also considered.
We present new relations derived from Noether's identity that reveal the compatibility between the components of the Hessian matrix of the Lagrangian, the infinitesimal symmetry transformation of the configuration variables and time, and a…
Lattices induced by coverings arise naturally in matroid theory and combinatorial optimization, providing a structured framework for analyzing relationships between independent sets and closures. In this paper, we explore the structural…
We formulate higher order variations of a Lagrangian in the geometric framework of jet prolongations of fibered manifolds. Our formalism applies to Lagrangians which depend on an arbitrary number of independent and dependent variables,…
Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) are material surfaces that shape finite-time tracer patterns in flows with arbitrary time dependence. Depending on their deformation properties, elliptic and hyperbolic LCSs have been identified from…
In this paper we work out the explicit form of the change of variables that reproduces an arbitrary change of gauge in a higher-order Lagrangian formalism.
A relationship between the tetrahedron equation for maps and the consistency property of integrable discrete equations on $\mathbb{Z}^3$ is investigated. Our approach is a generalization of a method developed in the context of Yang-Baxter…
This paper studies linear relations and their self-adjoint realizations arising from 2d-dimensional canonical systems, with a focus on how the symplectic structure interacts with boundary conditions. Understanding this interplay allows us…
Problems involving rolling without slipping or no sideways skidding, to name a few, introduce velocity-dependent constraints that can be efficiently treated by the method of Lagrange multipliers in the Lagrangian formulation of the…
We equip the whole space of fields of the triplectic formalism of Lagrangian quantization with an even supersymplectic structure and clarify its geometric meaning. We also discuss its relation to a closed two-form arising naturally in the…
We discuss two possible ways of representing tolerances: first, as a homomorphic image of some congruence; second, as the relational composition of some compatible relation with its converse. The second way is independent from the variety…
Special relativity beyond its basic treatment can be inaccessible, in particular because introductory physics courses typically view special relativity as decontextualized from the rest of physics. We seek to place special relativity back…
This paper aims at the most comprehensive and systematic construction and tabulation of mechanical systems that admit a second invariant, quadratic in velocities, other than the Hamiltonian. The configuration space is in general a 2D…
The purpose of this paper is describe Lagrangian Mechanics for constrained systems on Lie algebroids, a natural framework which covers a wide range of situations (systems on Lie groups, quotients by the action of a Lie group, standard…
We discuss some special classes of canonical transformations of the extended phase space, which relate integrable systems with a common Lagrangian submanifold. Various parametric forms of trajectories are associated with different integrals…
