A generalization of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory to arbitrary dynamical systems, including non-Hamiltonian ones, is considered. The generalized Hamilton-Jacobi theory is constructed as a theory of ensemble of identical systems moving in the…
We sketch out a new geometric framework to construct Hamiltonian operators for generic, non-evolutionary partial differential equations. Examples on how the formalism works are provided for the KdV equation, Camassa-Holm equation, and…
A generalization of classical mechanics is obtained from a complex parametrization of the phase space. The formalism supports complex Hamiltonian functions describing non-conservative classical mechanical systems. A quantization scheme that…
The goal of the present account is to review our efforts to obtain and apply a ``collective'' Hamiltonian for a few, approximately decoupled, adiabatic degrees of freedom, starting from a Hamiltonian system with more or many more degrees of…
It is shown that physical mechanics for pointlike bodies can be effectively modeled in terms of the action of transformation groups that act as symmetries of the solutions of systems of differential equations that describe the integrability…
Helicity plays a unique role as an integral invariant of a dynamical system. In this paper, the concept of helicity in the general setting of Hamiltonian dynamics is discussed. It is shown, through examples, how the conservation of overall…
We derive the dynamics of several rigid bodies of arbitrary shape in a 2-dimensional inviscid and incompressible fluid, whose vorticity field is given by point vortices. We adopt the idea of Vankerschaver et al. (2009) to derive the…
We propose a geometrical approach to the investigation of Hamiltonian systems on (Pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. A new geometrical criterion of instability and chaos is proposed. This approach is more generic than well known reduction to the…
This paper explores the relationship between Cartan symmetries, dynamical similarities, and dynamical symmetries in contact Hamiltonian mechanics. By introducing an alternative decomposition of vector fields, we characterize these…

The well-known geometric approach to field theory is based on description of classical fields as sections of fibred manifolds, e.g. bundles with a structure group in gauge theory. In this approach, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms…
This work is devoted to giving a geometric framework for describing higher-order non-autonomous mechanical systems. The starting point is to extend the Lagrangian-Hamiltonian unified formalism of Skinner and Rusk for these kinds of systems,…
We define formal geometric quantisation for proper Hamiltonian actions by possibly noncompact groups on possibly noncompact, prequantised symplectic manifolds, generalising work of Weitsman and Paradan. We study the functorial properties of…
Using a novel approach to renormalization in the Hamiltonian formalism, we study the connection between asymptotic freedom and the renormalization group flow of the configuration space metric. It is argued that in asymptotically free…
The formulation of a relativistic dynamical problem as a system of Hamilton equations by respecting the principles of Relativity is a delicate task, because in their classical form the Hamilton equations require the use of a time…
Preliminary results toward the analysis of the Hamiltonian structure of multifield theories describing complex materials are mustered: we involve the invariance under the action of a general Lie group of the balance of substructural…
The paper discusses the fundamental characteristics distinguishing the natural and social systems from each other. It considers in detail the basic approaches, prospects, and possibilities of constructing mathematical description for social…
The main directions in the development of the nonholonomic dynamics are briefly considered in this paper. The first direction is connected with the general formalizm of the equations of dynamics that differs from the Lagrangian and…
Collective motion is a manifestation of emergent phenomena in medium-heavy and heavy nuclei. A relatively large number of constituent nucleons contribute coherently to nuclear excitations (vibrations, rotations) that are characterized by…
It is shown how the canonical symmetry is used to look for the hierarchy of the Hamiltonian operators relevant to the system under consideration. It appears that only the invariance condition can be used to solve the problem.
