Cylindrically symmetric vacuum spacetimes are of immense interest in theoretical physics due to its connection to cosmic strings hypothesized in quantum field theory. In this article, we explore the properties of such spacetime and provide…
Time-dependent structures often appear in differential geometry, particularly in the study of non-autonomous differential equations on manifolds. One may study the geodesics associated with a time-dependent Riemannian metric by extremizing…
The Hamiltonian analysis for a 3-dimensional connection dynamics of $\frak{so}(1,2)$, spanned by $\{L_{-+},L_{-2},L_{+2}\}$ instead of $\{L_{01}, L_{02}, L_{12}\}$, is first conducted in a Bondi-like coordinate system. The symmetry of the…
This work explores a pataphysical approach to the concept of space and time, inspired by Aristotelian philosophy and the insights of John Wheeler. We propose the "Physics of Pears", a theory that conceives space as a graph and time as a…
We resurrect a standard construction of analytical mechanics dating from the last century. The technique allows one to pass from any dynamical system whose first order evolution equations are known, and whose bracket algebra is not…
Positive-energy solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation form a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the future tube. This domain is interpreted as an extended phase space for the associated classical particle, the extra dimensions being…

The equivalence between Chern-Simons and Einstein-Hilbert actions in three dimensions established by A.~Ach\'ucarro and P.~K.~Townsend (1986) and E.~Witten (1988) is generalized to the off-shell case. The technique is also generalized to…

Hamiltonian tridiagonal matrices characterized by multi-fractal spectral measures in the family of Iterated Function Systems can be constructed by a recursive technique here described. We prove that these Hamiltonians are almost-periodic.…
Motivated by both concepts of R.J. Adler's recent work on utilizing Clifford algebra as the linear line element $ds = \left\langle \gamma_\mu \right\rangle dX^\mu $, and the fermionization of the cylindrical worldsheet Polyakov action, we…
I apply the preceding paper's semiclassical treatment to geometrodynamics. The analogy between the two papers is quite useful at the level of the quadratic constraints, while I document the differences between the two due to the underlying…
(abridged)The achievements of the present work include: a) A clarification of the multiple definition given by Bergmann of the concept of {\it (Bergmann) observable. This clarification leads to the proposal of a {\it main conjecture}…
We are interested in the geometry of the group $\mathcal{D}_q(M)$ of diffeomorphisms preserving a contact form $\theta$ on a manifold $M$. We define a Riemannian metric on $\mathcal{D}_q(M)$, compute the corresponding geodesic equation, and…
The relativistic Lagrangian in presence of potentials was formulated directly from the metric, with the classical Lagrangian shown embedded within it. Using it we formulated covariant equations of motion, a deformed Euler-Lagrange equation,…
