We obtain, for a subclass of structure functions characterizing a first class Hamiltonian system, recursive relations from which the general form of the local symmetry transformations can be constructed in terms of the independent gauge…

We study the algebraic dynamics of endomorphisms of projective varieties. First, we characterize their iterated images, i.e. the intersection of the images of their iterates. Next, we explore the Stein factorizations of the iterates,…

Four-manifold theory is employed to study the existence of (twisted) generalized complex structures. It is shown that there exist (twisted) generalized complex structures that have more than one type change loci. In an example-driven…

We define, on smooth manifolds, the notions of almost twistorial structure and twistorial map, thus providing a unified framework for all known examples of twistor spaces. The condition of being harmonic morphisms naturally appears among…

We compute the lower moments of the structure functions of $\pi$ and $\rho$. Of particular interest are the spin-dependent structure functions of the $\rho$ as they give new information about quark binding effects.

In this paper, we consider chaotic dynamics and variational structures of area-preserving maps. There is a lot of study on dynamics of their maps and the works of Poincare and Birkhoff are well-known. To consider variational structures of…

Using tools and concepts from contact topology we show that non-vanishing twist implies conservation of the layer structure in cholesteric liquid crystals. This leads to a number of additional topological invariants for cholesteric…

We explore the physics of the parton-hadron duality in the nucleon structure functions appearing in lepton-nucleon scattering. We stress that the duality allows one to extract the higher-twist matrix elements from data in the resonance…

Tractors and Twistors bundles both provide natural conformally covariant calculi on $4D$-Riemannian manifolds. They have different origins but are closely related, and usually constructed bottom-up from prolongation of defining differential…

Studying the topological aspects of M-branes in M-theory leads to various structures related to Wu classes. First we interpret Wu classes themselves as twisted classes and then define twisted notions of Wu structures. These generalize many…

The aim of this work is the mathematical analysis of the physical time-reversal operator and its definition as a geometrical structure\QTR{bf}{, }in such a way that it could be generalized to the purely mathematical realm. Rigorously, only…

Structure formation in 1+1 dimensions is considered, with emphasis on the effects of shell-crossing. The breakdown of the perturbative expansion beyond shell-crossing is discussed, and it is shown, in a simple example, that the perturbative…
