In this paper we study the relation between conserved quantities of nonholonomic systems and the hamiltonization problem employing the geometric methods of [1,3]. We illustrate the theory with classical examples describing the dynamics of…

This letter describes a novel derivation of general relativity by considering the (non)self-consistency of theories whose Hamiltonians are constraints. The constraints, from Hamilton's equations, generate the evolution, while the evolution,…

We study a long-recognised but under-appreciated symmetry called "dynamical similarity" and illustrate its relevance to many important conceptual problems in fundamental physics. Dynamical similarities are general transformations of a…

We consider a class of Lagrangians that depend not only on some configurational variables and their first time derivatives, but also on second time derivatives, thereby leading to fourth-order evolution equations. The proposed higher-order…

Described is n-level quantum system realized in the n-dimensional ''Hilbert'' space H with the scalar product G taken as a dynamical variable. The most general Lagrangian for the wave function and G is considered. Equations of motion and…

We prove that, contrary to the common belief, the classical Maxwell electrodynamics of a point-like particle may be formulated as an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. We derive well defined quasi-Hamiltonian which possesses direct…

We study the classical dynamics of a particle in Snyder spacetime, adopting the formalism of constrained Hamiltonian systems introduced by Dirac. We show that the motion of a particle in a scalar potential is deformed with respect to…

Symplectic integrators offer many advantages for the numerical solution of Hamiltonian differential equations, including bounded energy error and the preservation of invariant sets. Two of the central Hamiltonian systems encountered in…

A Poisson structure on the time-extended space R x M is shown to be appropriate for a Hamiltonian formalism in which time is no more a privileged variable and no a priori geometry is assumed on the space M of motions. Possible geometries…

Inspired by one--dimensional light--particle systems, the dynamics of a non-Hamiltonian system with long--range forces is investigated. While the molecular dynamics does not reach an equilibrium state, it may be approximated in the…

The time evolution in a supersymmetric extension of the Kodomtsev-Petviashvilli hierarchy, a classical integrable system, is shown to be Hamiltonian. The canonical bracket associated to the Hamiltonian evolution is the classical analog of…

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…

Symmetry under a particular class of non-strictly canonical transformation may be used to identify, and subsequently excise degrees of freedom which do not contribute to the closure of the algebra of dynamical observables. Such redundant…

Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian dynamical systems are well formalized mathematically. They give rise to geometric structures describing motion of a point in smooth manifolds. Riemannian metric is a different geometric structure…

Non-holonomic mechanical systems can be described by a degenerate almost-Poisson structure (dropping the Jacobi identity) in the constrained space. If enough symmetries transversal to the constraints are present, the system reduces to a…

We consider Hamiltonian systems in first-order multisymplectic field theories. We review the properties of Hamiltonian systems in the so-called restricted multimomentum bundle, including the variational principle which leads to the…

Dynamists have been studying Hamiltonian systems for a long time. However, many physical systems are dissipative and do not preserve a symplectic form. This is the case, for example, with systems involving friction, which multiply the…

In this work the spontaneous symmetry breaking in certain nonlinear theories with second-class constraints is explored. Using the Dirac's method we perform an analysis of the constraints and the counting of the degrees of freedom. The…

We present {\it symmetric Hamiltonians} for the degenerate Garnier systems in two variables. For these symmetric Hamiltonians, we make the symmetry and holomorphy conditions, and we also make a generalization of these systems involving…

We extend the action for evolution equations of KdV and MKdV type which was derived in [Capel/Nijhoff] to the case of not periodic, but only equivariant phase space variables, introduced in [Faddeev/Volkov]. The difference of these…
