A natural geometric framework is proposed, based on ideas of W. M. Tulczyjew, for constructions of dynamics on general algebroids. One obtains formalisms similar to the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian ones. In contrast with recently studied…

We construct simple Lagrangians of vector fields which involve second derivatives, but nevertheless lead to second order field equations. These vector fields are, therefore, analogs of generalized Galileons. Our construction is given first…

A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of…

The algebraic-geometric approach is extended to study solutions of N-component systems associated with the energy dependent Schrodinger operators having potentials with poles in the spectral parameter, in connection with Hamiltonian flows…

The standard way of deriving Euler-Lagrange (EL) equations given a point particle action is to vary the trajectory and set the first variation of the action to zero. However, if the action is (i) reparameterisation invariant, and (ii)…

We generalize the property of Jacobi-orthogonality to indefinite scalar product spaces. We compare various principles and investigate relations between Osserman, Jacobi-dual, and Jacobi-orthogonal algebraic curvature tensors. We show that…

Jacobi's elliptic functions have been constructed from a deformed Lie algebra. The generators of the algebra have been obtained from a bi-orthogonal system. The deformation parameter resembles the modulus of the relevant elliptic functions.

We pose some questions about spaces parametrizing rational curves on rationally connected varieties. We give a partial answer for cubic threefolds. Many of our results were previously proved by Iliev, Markushevich and Tikhimirov by…

We construct the space of vector fields on quantum groups . Its elements are products of the known left invariant vector fields with the elements of the quantum group itself. We also study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms. The…

We recall first the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the versality properties of $V$, as studied by du Plessis and Wall. Then we…

In [Yu.M. Berezansky, E. Lytvynov, D. A. Mierzejewski, Ukrainian Math. J. 55 (2003), 853--858 ], the Jacobi field of a L\'evy process was derived. This field consists of commuting self-adjoint operators acting in an extended (interacting)…

The Jacobi curve of an extremal of optimal control problem is a curve in a Lagrangian Grassmannian defined up to a symplectic transformation and containing all information about the solutions of the Jacobi equations along this extremal. In…

Vector displacements expressed in spherical coordinates are proposed. They correspond to electromagnetic fields in vacuum that globally rotate about an axis and display many circular patterns on the surface of a sphere. The fields basically…

In this work we solve the problem of providing a Morita invariant definition of Lie and Courant algebroids over Lie groupoids. By relying on supergeometry, we view these structures as instances of vector fields on graded groupoids which are…
