We reconsider the problem of finding all local symmetries of a Lagrangian. Our approach is completely Hamiltonian without any reference to the associated action. We present a simple algorithm for obtaining the restrictions on the gauge…
We propose a Hamiltonian Lie algebroid and a momentum section over a Dirac structure as a generalization of a Hamiltonian Lie algebroid over a pre-symplectic manifold and one over a Poisson manifold. A Hamiltonian Lie algebroid and a…
In this paper we extend the geometric formalism of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory for hamiltonian mechanics to the case of classical field theories in the framework of multisymplectic geometry and Ehresmann connections.
Covariant (polysymplectic) Hamiltonian field theory is formulated as a particular Lagrangian theory on a polysymplectic phase space that enables one to quantize it in the framework of familiar quantum field theory.
Lie-Poisson gauge formalism provides a semiclassical description of noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theory with Lie algebra type noncommutativity. Using the Dirac approach to constrained Hamiltonian systems, we focus on a class of Lie-Poisson…
The k-symplectic formulation of field theories is especially simple, since only tangent and cotangent bundles are needed in its description. Its defining elements show a close relationship with those in the symplectic formulation of…
In this review paper we give a geometrical formulation of the field equations in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of classical field theories (of first order) in terms of multivector fields. This formulation enables us to discuss…
The canonical structure of theories whose Lagrangian contains higher powers of time derivatives is often obscured by the nonlinear relationship between the velocities and momenta. We use the Dirac formalism and define a generalized Legendre…
We show there is a class of symplectic Lie algebra representations over any field of characteristic not 2 or 3 that have many of the exceptional algebraic and geometric properties of both symmetric three forms in two dimensions and…
We apply the multisymplectic formulation of classical field theories [11, 12, 14] to describe the Einstein-Hilbert and the Einstein-Palatini (or metric-affine) Lagrangian models of General Relativity.
In this contribution we review some of the interplay between sigma models in theoretical physics and novel geometrical structures such as Lie (n-)algebroids. The first part of the article contains the mathematical background, the definition…
In $n$-dimensional classical field theory one studies maps from $n$-dimensional manifolds in such a way that classical mechanics is recovered for $n=1$. In previous papers we have shown that the standard polysymplectic framework in which…
This paper presents (in its Lagrangian version) a very general "historical" formalism for dynamical systems, including time-dynamics and field theories. It is based on the universal notion of history. Its condensed and universal formulation…
A geometrization of Schmidt-Legendre transformation of the second order Lagrangians is proposed by building a proper Tulczyjew's triplet. The symplectic relation between Ostrogradsky-Legendre and Schmidt-Legendre transformations is…
The purpose of this paper is to study in detail the constraint structure of the Hamiltonian and symplectic-Lagrangian descriptions for the scalar and electromagnetic fields in the presence of spatial boundaries. We carefully discuss the…
The Lie algebroids are generalization of the Lie algebras. They arise, in particular, as a mathematical tool in investigations of dynamical systems with the first class constraints. Here we consider canonical symmetries of Hamiltonian…
We propose a new definition of so called Hamiltonian forms in n-plectic geometry and show that they have a non-trivial Lie infinity-algebra structure.
A description of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms naturally arisen from the invariance structure of given nonlinear dynamical systems on the infinite--dimensional functional manifold is presented. The basic ideas used to formulate the…
In the two papers of this series, we initiate the development of a new approach to implementing the concept of symmetry in classical field theory, based on replacing Lie groups/algebras by Lie groupoids/algebroids, which are the appropriate…
The purpose of this paper is presenting a theoretical basis for the study of $\omega$-Hamiltonian vector fields in a more general approach than the classical one. We introduce the concepts of $\omega$-symplectic group and…
