The Hermitian Hamiltonian of a spin one-half particle with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) confined to a surface that is embedded in a three-dimensional space spanned by a general Orthogonal Curvilinear Coordinate (OCC) is constructed. A gauge…
We study the completions of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the standard linear symplectic space, for Viterbo's distance and some others derived from it, we study their different inclusions and give some of their properties. In…
We provide a general algorithm to construct a Hamiltonian, such that its dynamical flow covariantly defines any given spherically symmetric and static metric. This Hamiltonian is defined as a linear combination of the standard (general…
Many Hamiltonian problems in the Solar System are separable or separate into two analytically solvable parts, and thus give a great chance to the development and application of explicit symplectic integrators based on operator splitting and…
M. Kruskal showed that each continuous-time nearly-periodic dynamical system admits a formal $U(1)$ symmetry, generated by the so-called roto-rate. When the nearly-periodic system is also Hamiltonian, Noether's theorem implies the existence…
Discrete gradient methods are a powerful tool for the time discretization of dynamical systems, since they are structure-preserving regardless of the form of the total energy. In this work, we discuss the application of discrete gradient…
The deformation problem for pseudoholomorphic curves and related geometrical properties of the total moduli space of pseudoholomorphic curves are studied. A sufficient condition for the saddle point property of the total moduli space is…
We give a detailed study of the symplectic geometry of a family of integrable systems obtained by coupling two angular momenta in a non trivial way. These systems depend on a parameter t $\in$ [0, 1] and exhibit different behaviors…
In this paper we describe a method to establish when a symplectic manifold $M$ with semi-free Hamiltonian $S^{1}$-action is unique up to isomorphism (equivariant symplectomorphism). This will rely on a study of the symplectic topology of…
The kinetic term of the $N$-body Hamiltonian system defined on the surface of the sphere is non-separable. As a result, standard explicit symplectic integrators are inapplicable. We exploit an underlying hierarchy in the structure of the…
We revisit second-order-in-time space-time discretizations of the linear and semilinear wave equations by establishing precise equivalences with first-order-in-time formulations. Focusing on schemes using continuous piecewise-polynomial…
We study two-legged spin-1 ladder systems with $D_2\times \sigma$ symmetry group, where $D_2$ is discrete spin rotational symmetry and $\sigma$ means interchain reflection symmetry. The system has one trivial phase and seven nontrivial…
The main goal of this article is to bring together the theories of holomorphic iteration in the unit disc and semigroups of holomorphic functions. We develop a technique that allows us to partially embed the orbit of a holomorphic self-map…
This paper studies hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems using geometric tools. By making use of symmetries and suitable first integrals of the system, we explicitly define a global 2-form for which the gauge transformed nonholonomic…
Continuous image morphing is a classical task in image processing. The metamorphosis model proposed by Trouv\'e, Younes and coworkers casts this problem in the frame of Riemannian geometry and geodesic paths between images. The associated…
Localised structures appear in a wide variety of systems, arising from a pinning mechanism due to the presence of a small-scale pattern or an imposed grid. When there is a separation of lengthscales, the width of the pinning region is…
We define Floer homology for a time-independent, or autonomous Hamiltonian on a symplectic manifold with contact type boundary, under the assumption that its 1-periodic orbits are transversally nondegenerate. Our construction is based on…
We show that a generic Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on a closed symplectic manifold which is symplectically aspherical has at least the stable Morse number of fixed points - this is in line with a conjecture by Arnold.
In this contribution, the optimal stabilization problem of periodic orbits is studied via invariant manifold theory and symplectic geometry. The stable manifold theory for the optimal point stabilization case is generalized to the case of…
In the Entropic Dynamics (ED) approach the essence of quantum theory lies in its probabilistic nature while the Hilbert space structure plays a secondary and ultimately optional role. The dynamics of probability distributions is driven by…
