It is a basic introduction to differential graded Lie algebras, Maurer-Cartan equation and associated deformation functors.
We give a very simple construction of the string 2-group as a strict Fr\'echet Lie 2-group. The corresponding crossed module is defined using the conjugation action of the loop group on its central extension, which drastically simplifies…
The recently developed theory of partial actions of discrete groups on $C^*$-algebras is extended. A related concept of actions of inverse semigroups on $C^*$-algebras is defined, including covariant representations and crossed products.…
The covariant phase space of a Lagrangian field theory is the solution space of the associated Euler-Lagrange equations. It is, in principle, a nice environment for covariant quantization of a Lagrangian field theory. Indeed, it is…
We apply the method of controlled Lagrangians by potential shaping to Euler--Poincar\'e mechanical systems with broken symmetry. We assume that the configuration space is a general semidirect product Lie group $\mathsf{G} \ltimes V$ with a…
In the context of classical mechanics, we study the conditions under which higher-order derivative theories can evade the so-called Ostrogradsky instability. More precisely, we consider general Lagrangians with second order time…
This letter investigates the Lie point symmetries and conserved quantities of the Lagrangian systems on time scales, which unify the Lie symmetries of the two cases for the continuous and the discrete Lagrangian systems. By defining the…
A generalization of duality transformations for arbitrary Lorentz tensors is presented, and a systematic scheme for constructing the dual descriptions is developed. The method, a purely Lagrangian approach, is based on a first order parent…
We etablish a necessary and sufficient condition under which there exists a tangential and well graded star product, differential or not, on the dual g^* of a nilpotent Lie algebra g. We also give enlightening examples with explicit…
Lagrangian multiforms provide a variational framework to describe integrable hierarchies. The case of Lagrangian $1$-forms covers finite-dimensional integrable systems. We use the theory of Lie dialgebras introduced by Semenov-Tian-Shansky…
Given a model for self-dual non-linear electrodynamics in four spacetime dimensions, any deformation of this theory which is constructed from the duality-invariant energy-momentum tensor preserves duality invariance. In this work we present…
In this paper we study directional second-order tangent sets of real and complex analytic sets. For an analytic set $X\subseteq \mathbb K^n$ and a nonzero tangent direction $u\in T_0X$, we compare the geometric directional second-order…
We elucidate consistency of the so-called corner equations which are elementary building blocks of Euler-Lagrange equations for two-dimensional pluri-Lagrangian problems. We show that their consistency can be derived from the existence of…
This paper on the whole concerns with the duality of Mayer problem for k-th order differential inclusions, where k is an arbitrary natural number. Thus, this work for constructing the dual problems to differential inclusions of any order…
Optimal control in general, and flatness-based control in particular, of robotic arms necessitate to compute the first and second time derivatives of the joint torques/forces required to achieve a desired motion. In view of the required…
We study isometric actions of Lie $2$-groups on Riemannian groupoids by exhibiting some of their immediate properties and implications. Firstly, we prove an existence result which allows both to obtain 2-equivariant versions of the Slice…
This paper presents the Euler-Lagrange equations for fractional variational problems with multiple integrals. The fractional Noether-type theorem for conservative and nonconservative generalized physical systems is proved. Our approach uses…
In this paper the structures of the generalised Euler-Lagrange equations and their associated conserved quantities are derived for one-dimensional Herglotz variational problems of order $n$. Their derivations use the framework of moving…
Electromagnetism can be generalized to Yang-Mills theory by replacing the group U(1)$ by a nonabelian Lie group. This raises the question of whether one can similarly generalize 2-form electromagnetism to a kind of "higher-dimensional…
Following Sullivan's spacial realization of a differential algebra, we construct a universal integrating Lie 2-groupoid for every Lie algebroid. Then We show that unlike Lie algebras which one-to-one correspond to simply connected Lie…
