Inspired by the Poisson Sigma Model and its relation to 2d gravity, we consider models governing morphisms from TSigma to any Lie algebroid E, where Sigma is regarded as d-dimensional spacetime manifold. We address the question of minimal…

We present a geometric construction of irreversible dynamics on Poisson manifolds that satisfies the axioms of metriplectic mechanics and the GENERIC framework. Our approach relies solely on the underlying Poisson structure and its…

The infinite-dimensional mechanics of fluids and plasmas can be formulated as "noncanonical" Hamiltonian systems on a phase space of Eulerian variables. Singularities of the Poisson bracket operator produce singular Casimir elements that…

Classical Hamiltonian mechanics is realized by the action of a Poisson bracket on a Hamiltonian function. The Hamiltonian function is a constant of motion (the energy) of the system. The properties of the Poisson bracket are encapsulated in…

A new Poisson bracket for Hamiltonian forms on the full multisymplectic phase space is defined. At least for forms of degree n-1, where n is the dimension of space-time, Jacobi's identity is fulfilled.

We construct the family of bilinear forms gG on R3+1 for which Galilea boosts and spatial rotations are isometries. The key feature of these bilinear forms is that they are parametrized by a Galilea invariant vector whose physical…

We consider a non-standard generalized model of gravity coupled to a neutral scalar "inflaton" as well as to the fields of the electroweak bosonic sector. The essential new ingredient is employing two alternative non-Riemannian space-time…

Using a Poisson bracket representation, in 3D, of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$, we first use highest weight representations to embed this into larger Lie algebras. These are then interpreted as symmetry and conformal symmetry algebras…

In this note the notion of Poisson brackets in Kontsevich's "Lie World" is developed. These brackets can be thought of as "universally" defined classical Poisson structures, namely formal expressions only involving the structure maps of a…

This paper showed that Poisson brackets in quaternion variables can be obtained directly from canonical Poisson brackets on cotangent bundle of $SE(3)$ (or $SO(3)$) endowed by canonical symplectic geometry. Quaternion parameters in our case…

In this note the Hamiltonian formulation of four-dimensional gravity, in the Palatini-Cartan formalism, is recovered by elimination of an auxiliary field appearing as part of the connection.

We deduce the appearance of a polymeric phase in 4-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity by varying the values of the coupling constants and discuss the geometric structure of the phase in terms of ergodic moves. A similar result is true…

We perform the Dirac hamiltonian analysis of a four-dimensional gauge theory of gravity with an action of topological type, which generalizes some well-known two-dimensional models. We show that, in contrast with the two-dimensional case,…

We provide the geometric actions for most general N=1 supergravity in two spacetime dimensions. Our construction implies an extension to arbitrary N. This provides a supersymmetrization of any generalized dilaton gravity theory or of any…

We discuss the Hamiltonian formulation of gravity in 4-dimensional spacetime under Bondi-like coordinates ${v, r, x^a, a=2, 3}$. In Bondi-like coordinates, the 3-dimensional hypersurface is a null hypersurface and the evolution direction is…

It is shown in this paper how a connection may be made between the symmetry generators of the Hamiltonian (or potential) invariant under a symmetry group $G$, and the subcasimirs that come about when the rank of the Poisson structure of a…
