This paper discusses reduction by symmetries for autonomous and non-autonomous forced mechanical systems with inelastic collisions. In particular, we introduce the notion of generalized hybrid momentum map and hybrid constants of the motion…
An interpretation of Einstein-Hilbert gravity equations as Lagrangian reduction of Palatini gravity is made. The main technique involved in this task consists in representing the equations of motion as a set of differential forms on a…
We reconsider the, by Brink and Vasiliev, recently proposed generalized Toda field theories using the framework of WZNW$\rightarrow$Toda reduction. The reduced theory has a gauge symmetry which can be fixed in various ways. We discuss some…
The possibility of the global Lagrangian reduction of a mechanical system with symmetry is shown to be connected with the characteristic class of a principal fiber bundle of the configuration space over the factor manifold. It is proved…
The purpose of this material is to review the Adler Kostant Symes scheme as a theory which can be developped succesfully in different contexts. It was useful to describe some mechanical systems, the so called generalized Toda, and now it…
We study reductions of the Hamiltonian flows restricted to their invariant submanifolds. As examples, we consider partial Lagrange-Routh reductions of the natural mechanical systems such as geodesic flows on compact Lie groups and…
The recently-introduced relaxation approach for Runge-Kutta methods can be used to enforce conservation of energy in the integration of Hamiltonian systems. We study the behavior of implicit and explicit relaxation Runge-Kutta methods in…
In this paper, following the ideas in Marsden et al.[18], we set up the regular reduction theory of a regular controlled Lagrangian (RCL) system with symmetry and momentum map, by using Legendre transformation and Euler-Lagrange vector…
In this paper we show that a variational reduction procedure can be defined for Lagrangian systems subject to scaling symmetries (i.e. Lagrangian systems defined by a homogenous Lagrangian function), in such a way that the trajectories of…
This paper develops a generalized formulation of Lagrangian mechanics on fibered manifolds, together with a reduction theory for symmetries corresponding to Lie groupoid actions. As special cases, this theory includes not only Lagrangian…
We develop a reduction scheme \`a la Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer for hybrid Hamiltonian systems. Our method does not require the momentum map to be equivariant, neither to be preserved by the impact map. We illustrate the applicability of our…
The paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions for the order reduction of optimal control systems. Exploring the corresponding Hamiltonian system allows to solve the order reduction problem in terms of dynamical systems,…
It is well-known that the Toda Theories can be obtained by reduction from the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model, but it is less known that this WZNW $\rightarrow$ Toda reduction is \lq incomplete'. The reason for this incompleteness…
We consider a general approach for the process of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetries in chiral gauge models. This approach is used to show the complete integrability of several one dimensional texture equations arising in…
After defining generalizations of the notions of covariant derivatives and geodesics from Riemannian geometry for reductive Cartan geometries in general, various results for reductive Cartan geometries analogous to important elementary…
We study a type of forced discrete mechanical system $(Q,L_d,f_d)$ -- that we name of Routh type -- whose (discrete) time-flow preserves a symplectic structure on $Q\times Q$. That structure arises as the pullback via the forced discrete…
We consider partial and total reduction of a nonhomogeneous linear system of the operator equations with the system matrix in the same particular form as in paper [N. Shayanfar, M. Hadizadeh 2013]. Here we present two different concepts.…
Recently, there were works claiming that path integral quantisation of gauge theories necessarily requires relaxation of Lagrangian constraints. As has also been noted in the literature, it is of course wrong since there perfectly exist…
The projectability of Poincar\'e-Cartan forms in a third-order jet bundle $J^3\pi$ onto a lower-order jet bundle is a consequence of the degenerate character of the corresponding Lagrangian. This fact is analyzed using the constraint…
We study quantum intergrable systems of interacting particles from the point of view, proposed in our previous paper. We obtain Calogero-Moser and Sutherland systems as well their Ruijsenaars relativistic generalization by a Hamiltonian…
