How to give a natural geometric definition of a covariant Poisson bracket in classical field theory has for a long time been an open problem - as testified by the extensive literature on "multisymplectic Poisson brackets", together with the…
This paper investigates different Poisson structures that have been proposed to give a Hamiltonian formulation to evolution equations issued from fluid mechanics. Our aim is to explore the main brackets which have been proposed and to…
We show how the relation between Poisson brackets and symplectic forms can be extended to the case of inhomogeneous multivector fields and inhomogeneous differential forms (or pseudodifferential forms). In particular we arrive at a notion…
It has been a long standing question how to extend the canonical Poisson bracket formulation from classical mechanics to classical field theories, in a completely general, intrinsic, and canonical way. In this paper, we provide an answer to…
We construct a Leibniz bracket on the space $\Omega^\bullet (J^k (\pi))$ of all differential forms over the finite-dimensional jet bundle $J^k (\pi)$. As an example, we write Maxwell equations with sources in the covariant…
We discuss dimensional reduction for Hamiltonian systems which possess nonconstant Poisson brackets between pairs of coordinates and between pairs of momenta. The associated Jacobi identities imply that the dimensionally reduced brackets…
A perturbative method called beatification is presented for a class of two-dimensional fluid and plasma theories. The Hamiltonian systems considered, namely the Euler, Vlasov-Poisson, Hasegawa-Mima, and modified Hasegawa-Mima equations, are…
We generalize the prescription realizing classical Poisson-Lie T-duality as canonical transformation to Poisson-Lie T-plurality. The key ingredient is the transformation of left-invariant fields under Poisson-Lie T-plurality. Explicit…
In many Lagrangian field theories one has a Poisson bracket defined on the space of local functionals. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a transformation on the space of local functionals to be canonical in three different…
In this paper the well-known Dubrovin-Novikov problem posed as long ago as 1984 in connection with the Hamiltonian theory of systems of hydrodynamic type, namely, the classification problem for multidimensional Poisson brackets of…
A consistent, local coordinate formulation of covariant Hamiltonian field theory is presented. Whereas the covariant canonical field equations are equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange field equations, the covariant canonical transformation…
We present a general classification of Hamiltonian multivector fields and of Poisson forms on the extended multiphase space appearing in the geometric formulation of first order classical field theories. This is a prerequisite for computing…
In the context of averaging method, we describe a reconstruction of invariant connection-dependent Poisson structures from canonical actions of compact Lie groups on fibered phase spaces. Some symmetry properties of Wong's type equations…
We discuss the process to obtain Poisson brackets among the phase-space variables of a system of a charged particle on a Poincar\'e hyperboloid in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. We show that after quantization the Dirac bracket…
We show how to modify the canonical transformations to make them compatible with non-commutative Poisson brackets.
Recently it has been shown that antibrackets may be expressed in terms of Poisson brackets and vice versa for commuting functions in the original bracket. Here we also introduce generalized brackets involving higher antibrackets or higher…
We construct the noncanonical Poisson bracket associated with the phase space of first order moments of the velocity field and quadratic moments of the density of a fluid with a free- boundary, constrained by the condition of…
In field theory the Poisson bracket $\{F, \mathcal{H}\}$ between an arbitrary function $F$ and the system Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}$ acquires odd contributions. Here a modification is worked out to remove those terms, which leads to a…
Realizations of algebras in terms of canonical or bosonic variables can often be used to simplify calculations and to exhibit underlying properties. There is a long history of using such methods in order to study symmetry groups related to…
In this paper we introduce two classes of Poisson brackets on algebras (or on sheaves of algebras). We call them locally free and nonsingular Poisson brackets. Using the Fedosov's method we prove that any locally free nonsingular Poisson…
