In this paper, we consider the hamiltonian formulation of nonholonomic systems with symmetries and study several aspects of the geometry of their reduced almost Poisson brackets, including the integrability of their characteristic…
For a system of partial differential equations admitting point, contact, or higher symmetries, the framework of invariant reduction systematically computes how invariant geometric structures, such as conservation laws, presymplectic…
In this paper we study the problem of Hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems from a geometric point of view. We use gauge transformations by 2-forms (in the sense of Severa and Weinstein [29]) to construct different almost Poisson…
As it is well-known, Poisson brackets play a fundamental role both in mechanics and in classical field theories. In this paper we develop a theory of extensions of graded Poisson brackets in graded Dirac manifolds. We then show how these…
We show that the Euclidean Snyder non-commutative space implies infinitely many different physical predictions. The distinct frameworks are specified by generalized uncertainty relations underlying deformed Heisenberg algebras. Considering…
We extend the correspondence between Poisson maps and actions of symplectic groupoids, which generalizes the one between momentum maps and hamiltonian actions, to the realm of Dirac geometry. As an example, we show how hamiltonian…
Symmetries and isomorphisms play similar conceptual roles when we consider how models represent physical situations, but they are formally distinct, as two models related by symmetries are not typically isomorphic. I offer a rigorous…
The geometry of the rotating disk is revisited and the quantum consequences are discussed. A suggestion to detect the presence of the Gaussian curvature on the rotating disk only measuring transition frequencies is made. A quantum…
Some intrinsic tools from the formal theory of variational equations are being demonstrated at work in application to one concrete example of the third-order evolution equation of free relativistic top in three-dimensional space-time. The…
We consider some general aspects of the new noncommutative or quantum geometry coming out of the theory of quantum groups, in connection with Planck scale physics. A generalisation of Fourier or wave-particle duality on curved spaces…
We explore variational Poisson-Nijenhuis structures on nonlinear PDEs and establish relations between Schouten and Nijenhuis brackets on the initial equation with the Lie bracket of symmetries on its natural extensions (coverings). This…
The fully coupled dynamic interaction problem of the free surface of an incompressible fluid and a rigid body beneath it, in an inviscid, irrotational framework and in the absence of surface tension, is considered. Evolution equations of…
In this paper, we consider Hamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type and some of their generalizations. In particular, we discuss the questions concerning the structure and special forms of the corresponding Poisson brackets and the…
We consider a classical spinning particle in the frame of the relativistic physics by means of a covariant Hamiltonian and of a generalization of Poisson brackets which take into account the gauge fields. We obtain different equations of…
Some positive answers to the problem of endowing a dynamical system with a Hamiltonian formulation are presented within the class of Poisson structures in a geometric framework. We address this problem on orientable manifolds and by using…
We study deterministic and quantum dynamics from a constructive "finite" point of view, since the introduction of a continuum, or other actual infinities in physics poses serious conceptual and technical difficulties, without any need for…
The symmetry study of main differential equations of mechanics and electrodynamics has shown, that differential equations, which are invariant under transformations of groups, which are symmetry groups of mathematical numbers (considered…
Superimposed D-branes have matrix-valued functions as their transverse coordinates, since the latter take values in the Lie algebra of the gauge group inside the stack of coincident branes. This leads to considering a classical dynamics…
The formulation of classical mechanics applicable to fermionic degrees of freedom is presented in mathematically rigorous terms, including a description of how the mathematical structure relates to the quantization of the theory. Canonical…
We explore a differential calculus on the algebra of smooth functions on a manifold. The former is `noncommutative' in the sense that functions and differentials do not commute, in general. Relations with bicovariant differential calculus…
