Recently, classical results on completeness of trajectories of Hamiltonian systems obtained at the beginning of the seventies, have been revisited, improved and applied to Lorentzian Geometry. Our aim here is threefold: to give explicit…
We explore the relationship between mechanical systems describing the motion of a particle with the mechanical systems describing a continuous medium. More specifically, we will study how the so-called intermediate integrals or fields of…
This manuscript addresses the analysis and design of feedback laws for the stabilization of bilinear control systems in infinite-dimensional spaces. It first examines weak, strong, and polynomial stabilization within a Hilbert space…
This paper aims at the most comprehensive and systematic construction and tabulation of mechanical systems that admit a second invariant, quadratic in velocities, other than the Hamiltonian. The configuration space is in general a 2D…
Some examples of three-dimensional metrics of constant curvature defined by solutions of nonlinear integrable differential equations and their generalizations are constructed. The properties of Riemann extensions of the metrics of constant…
We analyze the extendability of the solutions to a certain second order differential equation on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, which is defined by a general class of forces (both prescribed on $M$ or depending on the velocity). The results…
We prove metric rigidity for complete manifolds supporting solutions of certain second order differential systems, thus extending classical works on a characterization of space-forms. In the route, we also discover new characterizations of…
This PhD dissertation covers a range of topics in Finsler geometry and Finsler gravity, most notably: (i) the characterization of Berwald spaces, (ii) pseudo-Riemann (non-)metrizability of Berwald spaces, (iii) $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics,…
Two results on the completeness of maximal solutions to first and second order ordinary differential equations (or inclusions) over complete Riemannian manifolds, with possibly time-dependent metrics, are obtained. Applications to…
Semi-Riemannian manifolds that satisfy (homogeneous) linear differential conditions of arbitrary order on the curvature are analyzed. They include, in particular, the spaces with (higher-order) recurrent curvature, (higher-order) symmetric…
Recent links between Finsler Geometry and the geometry of spacetimes are briefly revisited, and prospective ideas and results are explained. Special attention is paid to geometric problems with a direct motivation in Relativity and other…
This paper presents a variational and multisymplectic formulation of both compressible and incompressible models of continuum mechanics on general Riemannian manifolds. A general formalism is developed for non-relativistic first-order…
Shape analysis and compuational anatomy both make use of sophisticated tools from infinite-dimensional differential manifolds and Riemannian geometry on spaces of functions. While comprehensive references for the mathematical foundations…
The present document is the draft of a book which presents an introduction to infinite-dimensional differential geometry beyond Banach manifolds. As is well known the usual calculus breaks down in this setting. Hence, we replace it by the…
In this paper we will investigate the global properties of complete Hilbert manifolds with upper and lower bounded sectional curvature. We shall prove the Focal Index Lemma that we will allow us to extend some classical results of finite…

These notes on Riemannian geometry use the bases bundle and frame bundle, as in Geometry of Manifolds, to express the geometric structures. It has more problems and omits the background material. It starts with the definition of Riemannian…
As objects of study in functional analysis, Hilbert spaces stand out as special objects of study as do nuclear spaces in view of a rich geometrical structure they possess as Banach and Frechet spaces, respectively. On the other hand, there…
We lay foundations of the subject in the title, on which we build in another paper devoted to isometries in spaces of K\"ahler metrics.
On the basis of our recent modifications of the Dirac formalism we generalize the Bargmann-Wigner formalism for higher spins to be compatible with other formalisms for bosons. Relations with dual electrodynamics, with the…
