We study the geodesic orbit property for nilpotent Lie groups $N$ when endowed with a pseudo-Riemannian left-invariant metric. We consider this property with respect to different groups acting by isometries. When $N$ acts on itself by…
Robotic tasks which involve uncertainty--due to variation in goal, environment configuration, or confidence in task model--may require human input to instruct or adapt the robot. In tasks with physical contact, several existing methods for…
According to the pioneering work of Nielsen and collaborators, the length of the minimal geodesic in a geometric realization of a suitable operator space provides a measure of the quantum complexity of an operation. Compared with the…
Accurate models of robot dynamics are critical for safe and stable control and generalization to novel operational conditions. Hand-designed models, however, may be insufficiently accurate, even after careful parameter tuning. This…

We characterise Lie groups with bi-invariant bargmannian, galilean or carrollian structures. Localising at the identity, we show that Lie algebras with ad-invariant bargmannian, carrollian or galilean structures are actually determined by…
Topology control for power grid operation is a challenging sequential decision making problem because the action space grows combinatorially with the size of the grid and action evaluation through simulation is computationally expensive. We…
In this paper we show that the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method for compact Lie groups constructed in \cite{kennedy88b} using a symplectic structure can be recovered from canonical geometric mechanics with a bi-invariant metric. Hence we…
Many relevant applications of group theoretical methods to physical problems are related, in some manner, to classification schemes by means of symmetry groups. In these schemes, irreducible representations of a Lie group have to be…
Left-invariant optimal control problems on Lie groups form an important class of problems with big symmetry group. They are interesting from the theoretical point of view since they often can be completely studied, and general features can…
Quantum simulations of Lattice Gauge Theories (LGTs) are often formulated on an enlarged Hilbert space containing both physical and unphysical sectors in order to retain a local Hamiltonian. We provide simple fault-tolerant procedures that…

The problem of defining a gauge invariant effective potential with a strict energetic interpretation is examined in the context of spontaneously broken gauge theories. It is shown that such a potential can be defined in terms of a composite…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a deformation theory controlled by pre-Lie algebras with divided powers over a ring of positive characteristic. We show that every differential graded pre-Lie algebra with divided powers comes with…
In this paper, we present a geometric approach for computing controlled invariant sets for hybrid control systems. While the problem is well studied in the ellipsoidal case, this family is quite conservative for constrained or switched…
Derivations extend the concept of differentiation from functions to algebraic structures as linear operators satisfying the Leibniz rule. In Lie algebras, derivations form a Lie algebra via the commutator bracket of linear endomorphisms.…
