The problem of Kepler dynamics on a conformable Poisson manifold is addressed. The Hamiltonian function is defined and the related Hamiltonian vector field governing the dynamics is derived, which leads to a modified Newton second law.…
In this paper, we apply the geometric Hamilton--Jacobi theory to obtain solutions of Hamiltonian systems in Classical Mechanics, that are either compatible with a cosymplectic or a contact structure. As it is well known, the first structure…
Constrained Hamiltonian systems fall into the realm of presymplectic geometry. We show, however, that also Poisson geometry is of use in this context. For the case that the constraints form a closed algebra, there are two natural Poisson…
A two-dimensional Pauli Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a neutral spin-1/2 particle with a magnetic field having axial and second order symmetries, is considered. After separation of variables, the one-dimensional matrix…

We present an approach to Jacobi and contact geometry that makes many facts, presented in the literature in an overcomplicated way, much more natural and clear. The key concepts are Kirillov manifolds and linear Kirillov structures, i.e.,…

A dynamical system defined by a metriplectic structure is a dissipative model characterized by a specific pair of tensors, which defines the Leibniz brackets. Generally, these tensors are Poisson brackets tensor and a symmetric metric…
Non-self-adjoint dynamical systems, e.g., nonholonomic systems, can admit an almost Poisson structure, which is formulated by a kind of Poisson bracket satisfying the usual properties except for the Jacobi identity. A general theory of the…
