A summary is given of some results and perspectives of the hamiltonian ADM approach to 2+1 dimensional gravity. After recalling the classical results for closed universes in absence of matter we go over the the case in which matter is…
A general Hamiltonian theory for the adiabatic motion of relativistic charged particles confined by slowly-varying background electromagnetic fields is presented based on a unified Lie-transform perturbation analysis in extended phase space…
The notions of "motion" and "conserved quantities", if applied to extended objects, are already quite non-trivial in Special Relativity. This contribution is meant to remind us on all the relevant mathematical structures and constructions…
Does the mass of bodies depend on their velocity? Is the mass additive if separate bodies are joined together to form a composite system? Is the mass of an isolated system conserved? Different teachers of physics and specialists give…
In relativistic mechanics the energy-momentum of a free point mass moving without acceleration forms a four-vector. Einstein's celebrated energy-mass relation E=mc^2 is commonly derived from that fact. By contrast, in Newtonian mechanics…
Mean motion resonances are a common feature of both our own Solar System and of extrasolar planetary systems. Bodies can be trapped in resonance when their orbital semi-major axes change, for instance when they migrate through a…
We study the peculiar motion of non-relativistic matter in a fully covariant way. The exact nonlinear equations are derived and then applied to the case of pressure-free matter, moving relatively to a quasi-Newtonian Eulerian frame. Our…
A Hamiltonian formulation of generic many-body systems with balanced loss and gain is presented. It is shown that a Hamiltonian formulation is possible only if the balancing of loss and gain terms occur in a pairwise fashion. It is also…
An interacting lattice model describing the subspace spanned by a set of strongly-correlated bands is rigorously coupled to density functional theory to enable ab initio calculations of geometric and topological material properties. The…
We find a two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian for the time-symmetric problem of straight line motion of two electrons in direct relativistic interaction. This time-symmetric dynamical system appeared 100 years ago and it was popularized in…
The system is described by three mass-shell constraints. After a nonlinear transformation of the momenta, the analytic form taken by admissible interactions (allowing compatibility) is characterized in terms of the new variables. These…
We revisit the problem of the equations of motion of a system of $N$ self-interacting massive particles (without spins) in the first post-Minkowskian (1PM) approximation of general relativity. We write the equations of motion, gravitational…
We investigate the survival of symmetries in a relativistic system of two mutually interacting bosons coupled with an external field, when this field is "strongly" translation invariant in some directions and additionally remains unchanged…
In this paper we consider equations of motion for 2-body problem according to an observer close to one of the gravitational bodies. The influence of the Thomas precession of the observer's frame has an important role. The equations of…
We show that in classical mechanics, as well as in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the equation of the relative motion for a two-body bound system at rest can be replaced by individual dynamical equations of the same kind as the first…
We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by a classical system with position-dependent mass. It is shown that there is a non-conservative force quadratic in the velocity associated to the variable mass. We construct the Lagrangian and the…
We employ a port-Hamiltonian approach to model nonlinear rigid multibody systems subject to both position and velocity constraints. Our formulation accommodates Cartesian and redundant coordinates, respectively, and captures kinematic as…
Composite system is studied in noncommutative phase space with preserved rotational symmetry. We find conditions on the parameters of noncommutativity on which commutation relations for coordinates and momenta of the center-of-mass of…
Classical non-relativistic mechanics in a general setting of time-dependent transformations and reference frame changes is formulated in the terms of fibre bundles over the time-axis R. Connections on fibre bundles are the main ingredient…
In this paper we consider the central force problem in the special theory of relativity. We derive the special relativistic version of the Binet equation describing the orbit of a body. Then, the motion of a planet in a solar-like system…
