We construct a Schr\"odinger model and a Fock model of a minimal representation of the metaplectic Lie supergroup $\mathrm{Mp}(2m|2n,2n)$. Then, we show that the Schr\"odinger model of the minimal representation leads to an already known…
In this paper we derive the symplectic framework for field theories defined by higher-order Lagrangians. The construction is based on the symplectic reduction of suitable spaces of iterated jets. The possibility of reducing a higher-order…
We present general reduction procedures for Courant, Dirac and generalized complex structures, in particular when a group of symmetries is acting. We do so by taking the graded symplectic viewpoint on Courant algebroids and carrying out…
The application of the Legendre transformation to a hyperregular Lagrangian system results in a Hamiltonian vector field generated by a Hamiltonian defined on the phase space of the mechanical system. The Legendre transformation in its…
This paper highlights the similarities between even-dimensional geometry (symplectic) and odd-dimensional geometry (cosymplectic). We study the Lagrangian Grassmannian in the cosymplectic setting. The space of compatible co-complex…
The multisymplectic Hamiltonian formalism is a generalization of the Hamiltonian formalism that manifestly preserves covariance in the description of fields and that has been proposed as a possible framework for developing a…
We derive an explicit inversion algorithm for the spherical Radon transform in odd dimensions with partial radial data. We prove that the reconstruction of the unknown function can be reduced to solving ordinary differential equations,…
We consider odd Laplace operators arising in odd symplectic geometry. Approach based on semidensities (densities of weight 1/2) is developed. The role of semidensities in the Batalin--Vilkovisky formalism is explained. In particular, we…
For a non-elementary subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface, we study its invariant Radon measures on the space of measured laminations, by classifying them on the recurrent measured laminations. In particular, given a…
We study higher-rank Radon transforms that take functions on $j$-dimensional totally geodesic submanifolds in the $n$-dimensional real constant curvature space to functions on similar submanifolds of dimension $k >j$. The corresponding dual…
We stabilize the full Arthur-Selberg trace formula for the metaplectic covering of symplectic groups over a number field. This provides a decomposition of the invariant trace formula for metaplectic groups, which encodes information about…
In this paper we prove the unobstructedness of the deformation of integral coisotropic submanifolds in symplectic manifolds, which can be viewed as a natural generalization of results of Weinstein for Lagrangian submanifolds.
The inverse problem of the calculus of variations consists in determining if the solutions of a given system of second order differential equations correspond with the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations for some regular Lagrangian.…
We present a new interpretation for reduced density matrices of secondary variables in relativistic systems via an analysis of Wigner's method to construct the irreducible unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group. We argue that the…
Special Relativity (SR) determines the properties of synchrotron radiation, but the corresponding mechanisms are frequently misunderstood. Time dilation is often invoked among the causes, whereas its role would violate the principles of SR.…
We highlight the correspondence between one-dimensional Lorentz transformations, which relate events observed from two distinct inertial reference frames, and ray transfer transformations in Gaussian optics. Specifically, we identify…
Let G be a finite subgroup of SL(2,C). Let S_N#G^N be the wreath product of G by the symmetric group of degree N, acting symplectically on a complex vector space V of dimension 2N, with symplectic basis {x_i, y_i} i=1,...,N. In this paper…
The tomographic probability distribution on the phase space (cylinder) related to a circle or an interval is introduced. The explicit relations of the tomographic probability densities and the probability densities on the phase space for…
In this paper, we deal with the problem of reconstruction from Radon random samples in local shift-invariant signal space. Different from sampling after Radon transform, we consider sampling before Radon transform, where the sample set is…
In this paper, we obtain Pizzetti-type formulae on regions of the the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{m-1}$ of $\mathbb{R}^m$, and study their applications to the problem of inverting the spherical Radon transform. In particular, we approach…
