A classical theorem of Drinfel'd states that the category of simply connected Poisson Lie groups H is isomorphic to the category of Manin triples (d, g, h), where h is the Lie algebra of H. In this paper, we consider Dirac Lie groups, that…

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…

A Dirac structure is a Lagrangian subbundle of a Courant algebroid, $L\subset\mathbb{E}$, which is involutive with respect to the Courant bracket. In particular, $L$ inherits the structure of a Lie algebroid. In this paper, we introduce the…

This paper develops the notion of implicit Lagrangian systems on Lie algebroids and a Hamilton--Jacobi theory for this type of system. The Lie algebroid framework provides a natural generalization of classical tangent bundle geometry. We…
This work presents a newly renovated approach to the analysis of second-order Riccati equations from the point of view of the theory of Lie systems. We show that these equations can be mapped into Lie systems through certain Legendre…

The recent Reply by Oberlack et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 069403 (2023)] fails to rebut the critique that a mathematical solution method has been misapplied in their original work. On a point-by-point basis we prove that all arguments put…
