We classify Lie-Poisson brackets that are formed from Lie algebra extensions. The problem is relevant because many physical systems owe their Hamiltonian structure to such brackets. A classification involves reducing all brackets to a set…
The gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations are cast as an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. The gyrokinetic Poisson bracket is remarkably simple and similar to the Morrison-Marsden-Weinstein bracket for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. By…
We connect two a priori unrelated topics, theory of geodesically equivalent metrics in differential geometry, and theory of compatible infinite dimensional Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type in mathematical physics. Namely, we prove that…
We investigate Hamiltonian fluid reductions of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation. Our approach utilizes the hydrodynamic Poisson bracket framework, which allows us to systematically identify fundamental normal variables derived…
We introduce a stochastic perturbation of the Camassa-Holm equation such that, unlike previous formulations, energy is conserved by the stochastic flow. We compare this to a complementary approach which preserves Casimirs of the Poisson…
Using a Poisson bracket representation, in 3D, of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$, we first use highest weight representations to embed this into larger Lie algebras. These are then interpreted as symmetry and conformal symmetry algebras…

Freely decaying two-dimensional Navier--Stokes turbulence is studied. The conservation of vorticity by advective nonlinearities renders a class of Casimirs that decays under viscous effects. A rigorous constraint on the palinstrophy…
