The geometrical structure known as the Tulczyjew triple has proved to be very useful in describing mechanical systems, even those with singular Lagrangians or subject to constraints. Starting from basic concepts of variational calculus, we…
We propose a geometric approach to dynamical equations of physics, based on the idea of the Tulczyjew triple. We show the evolution of these concepts, starting with the roots lying in the variational calculus for statics, through Lagrangian…
The Tulczyjew triple on a principal bundle with connection is constructed in a convenient trivialisation. A reduction by the structure group is performed leading to the triple on the trivialised Atiyah algebroid and a presentation of this…
Around mid-1970s W. M. Tulczyjew discovered an approach which brings the two formalisms under a common geometric roof: the dynamics of a particle with configuration space $X$ is determined by a Lagrangian submanifold $D$ of $TT^*X$ (the…

In this paper the notion of Tulczyjew's triples in classical mechanics is extended to classical field theories, using the so-called multisymplectic formalism, and a convenient notion of lagrangian submanifold in multisymplectic geometry.…
We study the trivialization and the reduction of the Tulczyjew's triplet, in the presence of a symmetry and an Ehresmann connection associated to it. We thus obtain trivializations and reductions of iterated tangent and cotangent bundles…
The study of mechanical systems on Lie algebroids permits an understanding of the dynamics described by a Lagrangian or Hamiltonian function for a wide range of mechanical systems in a unified framework. Systems defined in tangent bundles,…

A simple geometric description of T-duality is given by identifying the cotangent bundles of the original and the dual manifold. Strings propagate naturally in the cotangent bundle and the original and the dual string phase spaces are…

We revisit the problem of the particle dynamics subject to a geometric holonomic constraint of codimension 1 in spatial dimensions d =2 and 3. In the absence of dissipation, we show that by solving the Lagrangian multiplier in a general…
The conditions under which a given manifold $M$ may be given a tangent bundle or a cotangent bundle structure are analyzed. This is an important property arising in different contexts. For instance, in the study of integrability of a given…

We show how the tangent bundle decomposition generated by a system of ordinary differential equations may be generalized to the case of a system of second order PDEs `of connection type'. Whereas for ODEs the decomposition is intrinsic, for…
