We present a systematic construction of effective Hamiltonians of periodically driven quantum systems. Because of an equivalence between the time dependence of a Hamiltonian and an interaction in its Floquet operator, flow equations, that…
We consider the 1-harmonic flow of maps from a bounded domain into a submanifold of a Euclidean space, i.e. the gradient flow of the total variation functional restricted to maps taking values in the manifold. We restrict ourselves to…
Symplectic mappings are discrete-time analogs of Hamiltonian systems. They appear in many areas of physics, including, for example, accelerators, plasma, and fluids. Integrable mappings, a subclass of symplectic mappings, are equivalent to…
Isotropic fluids in two spatial dimensions can break parity symmetry and sustain transverse stresses which do not lead to dissipation. Corresponding transport coefficients include odd viscosity, odd torque, and odd pressure. We consider an…
We prove quantitative decay estimates of macroscopic quantities generated by the solutions to linear transport equations driven by a general family of Hamiltonians. The associated particle trajectories are all trapped in a compact region of…
We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…

We develop a Hamiltonian theory of a time dispersive and dissipative inhomogeneous medium, as described by a linear response equation respecting causality and power dissipation. The proposed Hamiltonian couples the given system to auxiliary…
Most numerical integration algorithms are not designed specifically for Hamiltonian systems and do not respect their characteristic properties, which include the preservation of phase space volume with time. This can lead to spurious…
Phase space of a characteristic Hamiltonian system is a symplectic leaf of a factorizable Poisson Lie group. Its Hamiltonian is a restriction to the symplectic leaf of a function on the group which is invariant with respect to conjugations.…
We detect, by using symplectic topology, invariant measures with large rotation vectors for a class of Hamiltonian flows.
From a kinematical point of view, the geometrical information of hamiltonian chaos is given by the (un)stable directions, while the dynamical information is given by the Lyapunov exponents. The finite time Lyapunov exponents are of…
Theories with an infinite number of derivatives are described by non-local Lagrangians for which the standard Hamiltonian formalism cannot be applied. Hamiltonians of special types of non-local theories can be constructed by means of the…
