Classical mechanical systems are modeled by a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, and their symmetries, encoded in the action of a Lie group $G$ on $M$ by diffeomorphisms that preserves $\omega$. These actions, which are called "symplectic",…
Homogeneous compatible almost complex structures on symplectic manifolds are studied, focusing on those which are special, meaning that their Chern-Ricci form is a multiple of the symplectic form. Non Chern-Ricci flat ones are proven to be…

Classical Hamiltonian spin systems are continuous dynamical systems on the symplectic phase space $(S^2)^n$. In this paper we investigate the underlying geometry of a time discretization scheme for classical Hamiltonian spin systems called…
