We give a construction of completely integrable ($2n$)-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with symplectic brackets of the Lie-Poisson type (linear in coordinates) and with quadratic Hamilton functions. Applying to any such system the so called…

We show how the integrators used for the molecular dynamics step of the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm can be further improved. These integrators not only approximately conserve some Hamiltonian $H$ but conserve exactly a nearby shadow…

The Lie-Hamilton approach for $t$-dependent Hamiltonians is extended to cover the so-called nonlinear Lie-Hamilton systems, which are no longer related to a linear $t$-dependent combination of a basis of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of…

We point out, and draw some consequences of, the fact that the Poisson Lie group G* dual to G=GL_n(C) (with its standard complex Poisson structure) may be identified with a certain moduli space of meromorphic connections on the unit disc…

We first exhibit two compatible Poisson structures on the cotangent bundle of the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ in such a way that the invariant functions of the $\mathfrak{u}(n)^*$-valued momenta generate a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy. One of…

We first consider the Hamiltonian formulation of $n=3$ systems in general and show that all dynamical systems in ${\mathbb R}^3$ are bi-Hamiltonian. An algorithm is introduced to obtain Poisson structures of a given dynamical system. We…

Given a first order dynamical system possessing a commutative algebra of dynamical symmetries, we show that, under certain conditions, there exists a Poisson structure on an open neighbourhood of its regular (not necessarily compact)…

Reduction is a process that uses symmetry to lower the order of a Hamiltonian system. The new variables in the reduced picture are often not canonical: there are no clear variables representing positions and momenta, and the Poisson bracket…

For the Hamiltonian integrable systems governed by SL(2)-invariant r-matrix (such as Heisenberg magnet, Toda lattice, nonlinear Schroedinger equation) a general procedure for constructing Baecklund transformation is proposed. The…

We develop a method of constructing structure-preserving integrators for Hamiltonian systems in Jacobi manifolds. Hamiltonian mechanics, rooted in symplectic and Poisson geometry, has long provided a foundation for modeling conservative…

Kinetic theory describes a dilute monatomic gas using a distribution function $f(q,p,t)$, the expected phase-space density of particles. The distribution function evolves according to the collisionless Boltzmann equation in the high Knudsen…

A Lie-Hamilton system is a nonautonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations describing the integral curves of a $t$-dependent vector field taking values in a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector…

We classify Lie-Poisson brackets that are formed from Lie algebra extensions. The problem is relevant because many physical systems owe their Hamiltonian structure to such brackets. A classification involves reducing all brackets to a set…

We construct a Poisson map between manifolds with linear Poisson brackets corresponding to the two samples of Lie algebra $e(3)$. Using this map we establish equivalence of the Steklov-Lyapunov system and the motion of a particle on the…
