For classical lattice systems with finite (Ising) spins, we show that the implementation of momentum-space renormalization at the level of Hamiltonians runs into the same type of difficulties as found for real-space transformations:…

Affine hamiltonians are defined in the paper and their study is based especially on the fact that in the hyperregular case they are dual objects of lagrangians defined on affine bundles, by mean of natural Legendre maps. The variational…

We define the notion of a moment map and reduction in both generalized complex geometry and generalized K\"{a}hler geometry. As an application, we give very simple explicit constructions of bi-Hermitian structures on $\C\P^n$, Hirzebruch…

In Hamiltonian mechanics the equations of motion may be considered as a condition on the tangent vectors to the solution; they should be null-vectors of the symplictic structure. Usually the formalism for the field case is done by replacing…

Under certain circumstances, the equations for the magnetic field lines can be recast in a canonical form, after defining a suitable field line Hamiltonian. This analogy is extremely useful for dealing with a variety of problems involving…

In this paper, we studied a Finsler space whose metric is given by an h-exponential change and obtain the Cartan connection coefficients for the change. We also find the necessary and sufficient condition for an h-exponential change of…
