This paper investigates scaling symmetry in thermodynamics by unifying constrained Hamiltonian dynamics with symplectic and contact geometries. Through the mathematical processes of contactization and symplectization, we demonstrate that…
Many theories of physical interest, which admit a Hamiltonian description, exhibit symmetries under a particular class of non - strictly canonical transformation, known as dynamical similarities. The presence of such symmetries allows a…
In this paper, we investigate the reduction process of a contact Lagrangian system whose Lagrangian is invariant under a group of symmetries. We give explicit coordinate expressions of the resulting reduced differential equations, the…
Singular theories, characterised by the presence of degeneracies in their Lagrangian or Hamiltonian descriptions, require the systematic implementation of constraints in order to obtain well-defined dynamics. While the symplectic framework…
We investigate various types of symmetries and their mutual relationships in Hamiltonian systems defined on manifolds with different geometric structures: symplectic, cosymplectic, contact and cocontact. In each case we pay special…
In this paper, we discuss the reduction of symplectic Hamiltonian systems by scaling and standard symmetries which commute. We prove that such a reduction process produces a so-called Kirillov Hamiltonian system. Moreover, we show that if…
This work presents two novel approaches for the symplectic model reduction of high-dimensional Hamiltonian systems using data-driven quadratic manifolds. Classical symplectic model reduction approaches employ linear symplectic subspaces for…
We propose an adaptation of the notion of scaling symmetries for the case of Lie-Hamilton systems, allowing their subsequent reduction to contact Lie systems. As an illustration of the procedure, time-dependent frequency oscillators and…
In this paper, we explore scaling symmetries within the framework of symplectic geometry. We focus on the action $\Phi$ of the multiplicative group $G = \mathbb{R}^+$ on exact symplectic manifolds $(M, \omega,\theta)$, with $\omega =…
One of the foremost goals of research in physics is to find the most basic and universal theories that describe our universe. Many theories assume the presence of an absolute space and time in which the physical objects are located and…
We show that contact reductions can be described in terms of symplectic reductions in the traditional Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer as well as the constant rank picture. The point is that we view contact structures as particular (homogeneous)…
Due to the emergence of symplectic geometry, the geometric treatment of mechanics underwent a great development during the last century. In this scenario the pressence of symmetries in Hamiltonian systems leads naturally to the existence of…
Contact reduction is very closely related to symplectic reduction, but it allows symmetries that are not manifest in Hamiltonian mechanics and moreover, solution of the reduced problems yields solution of the original problem without…
We study diffeomorphisms that have one-parameter families of continuous symmetries. For general maps, in contrast to the symplectic case, existence of a symmetry no longer implies existence of an invariant. Conversely, a map with an…
In this paper we study the coisotropic reduction in different types of dynamics according to the geometry of the corresponding phase space. The relevance of the coisotropic reduction is motivated by the fact that these dynamics can always…
In the Hamiltonian formalism, and in the presence of a symmetry Lie group, a variational reduction procedure has already been developed for Hamiltonian systems without constraints. In this paper we present a procedure of the same kind, but…
In this paper we exploit the use of symmetries of a physical system so as to characterize algebraically the corresponding solution manifold by means of Noether invariants. This constitutes a necessary preliminary step towards the correct…
Inductive bias refers to restrictions on the hypothesis class that enable a learning method to generalize effectively from limited data. A canonical example in control is linearity, which underpins low sample-complexity guarantees for…
We present a novel theory of the very early universe which addresses the traditional horizon and flatness problems of big bang cosmology and predicts a scale invariant spectrum of perturbations. Unlike inflation, this scenario requires no…
We investigate the asymptotic symmetry group of a scalar field minimally-coupled to an abelian gauge field using the Hamiltonian formulation. This extends previous work by Henneaux and Troessaert on the pure electromagnetic case. We deal…
