We introduce the process of symplectic reduction along a submanifold as a uniform approach to taking quotients in symplectic geometry. This construction holds in the categories of smooth manifolds, complex analytic spaces, and complex…
Geometric mechanics is a branch of mathematical physics that studies classical mechanics of particles and fields from the point of view of geometry. In a geometric language, symmetries can be expressed in a natural manner as vector fields…
For a finite-dimensional representation V of a group G we introduce and study the notion of a Lie element in the group algebra k[G]. The set L(V) \subset k[G] of Lie elements is a Lie algebra and a G-module acting on the original…
Classical mechanical systems are modeled by a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, and their symmetries, encoded in the action of a Lie group $G$ on $M$ by diffeomorphisms that preserves $\omega$. These actions, which are called "symplectic",…
The aim of this paper is to develop a constraint algorithm for singular classical field theories in the framework of $k$-cosymplectic geometry. Since these field theories are singular, we need to introduce the notion of $k$-precosymplectic…
We describe the reduction procedure for a symplectic Lie algebroid by a Lie subalgebroid and a symmetry Lie group. Moreover, given an invariant Hamiltonian function we obtain the corresponding reduced Hamiltonian dynamics. Several examples…
Let $p$ be a prime. Given a split semisimple group scheme $G$ over a normal integral domain $R$ which is a faithfully flat $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$-algebra, we classify all finite dimensional representations $V$ of the fiber $G_K$ of $G$ over…
We consider generalizations of symplectic manifolds called n-plectic manifolds. A manifold is n-plectic if it is equipped with a closed, nondegenerate form of degree n+1. We show that higher structures arise on these manifolds which can be…
We give a short and elementary introduction to Lie group methods. A selection of applications of Lie group integrators are discussed. Finally, a family of symplectic integrators on cotangent bundles of Lie groups is presented and the notion…
The real symplectic Stiefel manifold is the manifold of symplectic bases of symplectic subspaces of a fixed dimension. It features in a large variety of applications in physics and engineering. In this work, we study this manifold with the…
The graph of a real symplectic linear transformation is an R-Lagrangian subspace of a complex symplectic vector space. The restriction of the complex symplectic form is thus purely imaginary and may be expressed in terms of the generating…
We present a mathematical framework of gauge theories that is based upon a skew-adjoint Lie algebra and a generalized Dirac operator, both acting on a Hilbert space.
We determine the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of hamiltonian vector fields, thereby classifying its central extensions. Furthermore, we classify the central extensions of the Lie algebra of symplectic vector fields, of the…
The mathematical theory underlying Hamiltonian mechanics is called symplectic geometry. So symplectic geometry arose from the roots of mechanics and is seen as one of the most valuable links between physics and mathematics today. Symplectic…
The objective of this thesis is to study the automorphism groups of the Lie algebras attached to linear systems. A linear system is a pair of vector spaces $(U,W)$ with a nondegenerate pairing $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle\colon U\otimes W\to…
Finite-dimensional subalgebras of a Lie algebra of smooth vector fields on a circle, as well as piecewise-smooth global transformations of a circle on itself, are considered. A canonical forms of realizations of two- and three-dimensional…
We define and analyze various generalizations of the punctual Hilbert scheme of the plane, associated to complex or real Lie algebras. Out of these, we construct new geometric structures on surfaces whose moduli spaces share multiple…
Classical Lie group theory provides a universal tool for calculating symmetry groups for systems of differential equations. However Lie's method is not as much effective in the case of integral or integro-differential equations as well as…
We construct integrable Hamiltonian systems with Lie bialgebras $({\bf g} , {\bf \tilde{g}})$ of the bi-symplectic type for which the Poisson-Lie groups ${\bf G}$ play the role of the phase spaces, and their dual Lie groups ${\bf {\tilde…
We study a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, which has important applications to the theory of integrable equations. The construction of these algebras is very similar to the one for automorphic functions and this motivates…
