In this paper, we characterize arbitrary polynomial vector fields on $S^n$. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a degree one vector field on the odd-dimensional sphere $S^{2n-1}$ to be Hamiltonian. Additionally, we…
This paper extends Kontsevich's ideas on quantizing Poisson manifolds. A new differential is added to the Hodge decomposition of the Hochschild complex, so that it becomes a bicomplex, even more similar to the classical Hodge theory for…
We describe a novel way to think about bosonic lattice theories in Hamiltonian form where each lattice site has only a half boson degree of freedom. The construction requires a non-trivial Poisson bracket between neighboring sites and leads…
We show that Kahan's discretization of quadratic vector fields is equivalent to a Runge--Kutta method. When the vector field is Hamiltonian on either a symplectic vector space or a Poisson vector space with constant Poisson structure, the…
We study the Hamiltonian vector field $v=(-\partial f/\partial w,\partial f/\partial z)$ on $\mathbb C^2$, where $f=f(z,w)$ is a polynomial in two complex variables, which is non-degenerate with respect to its Newton's polygon. We introduce…
New geometric structures that relate the lagrangian and hamiltonian formalisms defined upon a singular lagrangian are presented. Several vector fields are constructed in velocity space that give new and precise answers to several topics…

The pentagram map is a projectively natural iteration defined on polygons, and also on a generalized notion of a polygon which we call {\it twisted polygons}. In this note we describe our recent work on the pentagram map, in which we find a…
In the literature, the existence of Darboux polynomials and additional polynomial first integrals has been considered in the case of Hamiltonian systems. In this article such problem is formulated in the more general framework of Poisson…
Given a compact oriented surface, we classify log Poisson bi-vectors whose degeneracy loci are locally modeled by a finite set of lines in the plane intersecting at a point. Further, we compute the Poisson cohomology of such structures and…
In recent years methods for the integration of Poisson manifolds and of Lie algebroids have been proposed, the latter being usually presented as a generalization of the former. In this note it is shown that the latter method is actually…
We study configurations of disjoint Lagrangian submanifolds in certain low-dimensional symplectic manifolds from the perspective of the geometry of Hamiltonian maps. We detect infinite-dimensional flats in the Hamiltonian group of the…
On the basis of Liouville theorem the generalization of the Nambu mechanics is considered. Is shown, that Poisson manifolds of n-dimensional multi-symplectic phase space have inducting by (n-1) Hamiltonian k-vector fields, each of which…
In their recent letter, Chaichian et.~al. present a Lagrangian for a massive ($m$) point particle on the plane, with which they claim to realize anyon statistics. However, we find that there are some inaccuracies in their formulation and,…
We study Beauville's completely integrable system and its variant from a viewpoint of multi-Hamiltonian structures. We also relate our result to the previously known Poisson structures on the Mumford system and the even Mumford system.
