We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a Dirac structure on the total space of a Poisson fiber bundle endowed with a compatible connection. We also show that Cartan and Cartan-Hannay-Berry connections give rise to coupling Dirac…
Grassmann-valued Dirac fields together with the electromagnetic field (the pseudoclassical basis of QED) are reformulated on spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski spacetime and then restricted to Wigner hyperplanes to get their description…
Irreducible sigma models, i.e. those for which the partition function does not factorise, are defined on Riemannian spaces with irreducible holonomy groups. These special geometries are characterised by the existence of covariantly constant…
Non-self-adjoint dynamical systems, e.g., nonholonomic systems, can admit an almost Poisson structure, which is formulated by a kind of Poisson bracket satisfying the usual properties except for the Jacobi identity. A general theory of the…
Let $G$ be a connected Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. We denote by $\nabla^0$ the torsion free bi-invariant linear connection on $G$ given by $\nabla^0_XY=\frac12[X,Y],$ for any left invariant vector fields $X,Y$. A Poisson…
The semiclassical limit of full non-commutative gauge theory is known as Poisson gauge theory. In this work we revise the construction of Poisson gauge theory paying attention to the geometric meaning of the structures involved and advance…
It is shown that the Poisson structure related to $\kappa$-Poincar\'e group is dual to a certain Lie algebroid structure, the related Poisson structure on the (affine) Minkowski space is described in a geometric way.
We give a new characterization of generalized K\"ahler structures in terms of their corresponding complex Dirac structures. We then give an alternative proof of Hitchin's partial unobstructedness for holomorphic Poisson structures. Our main…
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…
The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups carry many K\"ahler structures, which include a Riemannian metric and a complex structure. We provide a fairly explicit formula for the Levi-Civita connection of the Riemannian metric, and we use…
Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $\mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $\mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on…
We study the Poisson sigma model which can be viewed as a topological string theory. Mainly we concentrate our attention on the Poisson sigma model over a group manifold G with a Poisson-Lie structure. In this case the flat connection…
Given an oriented surface S with base point * on the boundary, we introduce for all N>0, a canonical quasi-Poisson bracket on the space of N-dimensional linear representations of \pi_1(S,*). Our bracket extends the well-known Poisson…
In this paper, we present a detailed review/analysis of the Dirac quantisation of Hamiltonian systems with constraints. To this end, we use, as a guide, the physical example provided by the dynamics of a solid ball rolling, without…
We combine the projective geometry approach to Schroedinger equations on the circle and differential Galois theory with the theory of Poisson Lie groups to construct a natural Poisson structure on the space of wave functions (at the zero…
We construct explicitly a class of coboundary Poisson-Lie structures on the group of formal diffeomorphisms of ${\Bbb R}^n$. Equivalently, these give rise to a class of coboundary triangular Lie bialgebra structures on the Lie algebra $W_n$…
In this paper, we construct a homotopy Poisson algebra of degree 3 associated to a split Lie 2-algebroid, by which we give a new approach to characterize a split Lie 2-bialgebroid. We develop the differential calculus associated to a split…
We show how to deform a Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifold by means of a closed 2-form. Then we interpret this procedure in the context of quasi-Lie bialgebroids, as a particular case of the so called twisting of a quasi-Lie bialgebroid.…
In the paper "Constraint Quantization of Open String in Background $B$ field and Noncommutative D-brane", it is claimed that the boundary conditions lead to an infinite set of secondary constraints and Dirac brackets result in a…
A supersymmetric breaking procedure for $N=1$ Super KdV, using a Clifford algebra, is implemented. Dirac's method for the determination of constraints is used to obtain the Hamiltonian structure, via a Lagrangian, for the resulting…
