We construct a hierarchy of integrable systems whose Poisson structure corresponds to the BMS$_{3}$ algebra, and then discuss its description in terms of the Riemannian geometry of locally flat spacetimes in three dimensions. The analysis…
Extending phase space to include time and it canonical conjugate energy as well as the usual momentum and position variables, and then introducing the constraint which sets energy equal to the Hamiltonian, gives a symplectic action of the…
In this paper, we study invariant Poisson structures on homogeneous manifolds, which serve as a natural generalization of homogeneous symplectic manifolds previously explored in the literature. Our work begins by providing an algebraic…
We discuss the (dual-)gauge transformations and BRST cohomology for the two (1 + 1)-dimensional (2D) free Abelian one-form and four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theories by exploiting the (co-)BRST symmetries (and…
We scrutinize the many known forms of BRST symmetries, as well as some new ones, realized within a prototypical first-class system. Similarities and differences among ordinary BRST, anti-BRST, dual-BRST and anti-dual-BRST symmetries are…
Motivated by recent work in this area we expand on a generalization of port-Hamiltonian systems that is obtained by replacing the Hamiltonian function representing energy storage by a general Lagrangian subspace. This leads to a new class…
We study algebras constructed by quantum Hamiltonian reduction associated with symplectic quotients of symplectic vector spaces, including deformed preprojective algebras, symplectic reflection algebras (rational Cherednik algebras), and…
The local BRST cohomology of the gauged non-linear sigma model on a group manifold is worked out for any Lie group G. We consider both, the case where the gauge field is dynamical and the case where it has no kinetic term (G/G topological…
We develop Hamiltonian formalism for Lagrange Multiplier Modified Gravity. We further calculate the Poisson brackets between constraints and we show that they coincide with the algebra of constraints in Hamiltonian formulation of General…
We study the hydrodynamic-type system of differential equations modeling isothermal no-slip drift flux. Using the facts that the system is partially coupled and its subsystem reduces to the (1+1)-dimensional Klein--Gordon equation, we…
We investigate the tension between symplecticity and gauge covariance in classical Hamiltonian mechanics. The pursuit of manifest covariance over manifest symplecticity results in a unique geometric formulation. Firstly, covariant yet…
In this note we clarify the relation between extended world-sheet supersymmetry and generalized complex structure. The analysis is based on the phase space description of a wide class of sigma models. We point out the natural isomorphism…
BRST-methods provide elegant and powerful tools for the construction and analysis of constrained systems, including models of particles, strings and fields. These lectures provide an elementary introduction to the ideas, illustrated with…
Locally variational systems of differential equations on smooth manifolds, having certain de Rham cohomology group trivial, automatically possess a global Lagrangian. This important result due to Takens is, how-ever, of sheaf-theoretic…
The classical Hamilton equations of motion yield a structure sufficiently general to handle an almost arbitrary set of ordinary differential equations. Employing elementary algebraic methods, it is possible within the Hamiltonian structure…
Let $G$ be a locally compact second countable group equipped with an admissible non-degenerate Borel probability measure $\mu$. We generalize the notion of $\mu$-stationary systems to $\mu$-stationary $G$-factor maps $\pi: (X,\nu)\to…
We analyze the Poisson structure of the time-dependent mean-field equations for bosons and construct the Lie-Poisson bracket associated to these equations. The latter follow from the time-dependent variational principle of Balian and…
This paper studies nonsmooth variational problems on principal bundles for nonholonomic systems with collisions taking place in the boundary of the manifold configuration space of the nonholonopmic system. In particular, we first extended…
An irreducible Hamiltonian BRST quantization method for reducible first-class systems is proposed. The general theory is illustrated on a two-stage reducible model, the link with the standard reducible BRST treatment being also emphasized.
Generalized symmetries and supersymmetries depending on derivatives of dynamic variables are treated in a most general setting. Studding cohomology of the variational bicomplex, we state the first variational formula and conservation laws…
