The SU(2) gauge invariant Dirac-Yang-Mills mechanics of spatially homogeneous isospinor and gauge fields is considered in the framework of the generalized Hamiltonian approach. The unconstrained Hamiltonian system equivalent to the model is…
Every action on a Poisson manifold by Poisson diffeomorphisms lifts to a Hamiltonian action on its symplectic groupoid which has a canonically defined momentum map. We study various properties of this momentum map as well as its use in…
Some generalizations of spin Sutherland models descend from `master integrable systems' living on Heisenberg doubles of compact semisimple Lie groups. The master systems represent Poisson--Lie counterparts of the systems of free motion…
The classical Poisson reduction of a given Lagrangian system with (local) gauge symmetries has to be done before its quantization. We propose here a coordinate free and self-contained mathematical presentation of the covariant…
The Hamilton-Jacobi theory is a formulation of Classical Mechanics equivalent to other formulations as Newton's equations, Lagrangian or Hamiltonian Mechanics. It is particulary useful for the identification of conserved quantities of a…
This paper is about the rigidity of compact group actions in the Poisson context. The main resut is that Hamiltonian actions of compact semisimple type are rigid. We prove it via a Nash-Moser normal form theorem for closed subgroups of…
We define a quantum version of Hamiltonian reduction by stages, producing a construction in type A for a quantum Hamiltonian reduction from the W-algebra $U(\mathfrak{g},e_1)$ to an algebra conjecturally isomorphic to $U(\mathfrak{g},e_2)$,…
We present a generalized reduction procedure which encompasses the one based on the momentum map and the projection method. By using the duality between manifolds and ring of functions defined on them, we have cast our procedure in an…
In this paper, we consider the hamiltonian formulation of nonholonomic systems with symmetries and study several aspects of the geometry of their reduced almost Poisson brackets, including the integrability of their characteristic…
The Adler-Gelfand-Dikii Poisson structure arises naturally in the study of $n$-th order differential operators on the circle and plays a central role in Poisson geometry and integrable systems. Let $G$ be one of the Lie groups…
We complete the program started in two companion papers of defining a Poisson bracket structure on the space of solutions of the equations of motion of first order Hamiltonian field theories. The case of General Relativity is addressed by…
Constrained Hamiltonian systems fall into the realm of presymplectic geometry. We show, however, that also Poisson geometry is of use in this context. For the case that the constraints form a closed algebra, there are two natural Poisson…
Borisov, Mamaev and Kilin have recently found certain Poisson structures with respect to which the reduced and rescaled systems of certain non-holonomic problems, involving rolling bodies without slipping, become Hamiltonian, the…
A new Hamiltonian structure of the Maxwell-Bloch equations is described. In this setting the Maxwell-Bloch equations appear as a member of a family of generalized Maxwell-Bloch systems. The family is parameterized by compact semi-simple Lie…
Let R be a commutative ring, and let A be a Poisson algebra over R. We construct an (R,A)-Lie algebra structure, in the sense of Rinehart, on the A-module of K\"ahler differentials of A depending naturally on A and the Poisson bracket. This…
We introduce Poisson $C^\infty$-rings and Poisson local $C^\infty$-ringed spaces. We show that the spectrum of a Poisson $C^\infty$-ring is an affine Poisson $C^\infty$-scheme. We then discuss applications that include singular symplectic…
We give a geometric proof of inverse Hamiltonian reduction for all finite W-algebras in type $A$, a certain embedding of the finite W-algebra corresponding to an arbitrary nilpotent in $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ into that corresponding to a larger…
We prove that the category of commutative Hopf algebras over a field $k$ is co-semi-abelian. Consequently, the category of affine group $k$-schemes is semi-abelian. We establish coregularity by identifying the orthogonal factorization…
We look at Poisson geometry taking the viewpoint of singular foliations, understood as suitable submodules generated by Hamiltonian vector fields rather than partitions into (symplectic) leaves. The class of Poisson structures which behave…
The affine Gaudin model, associated with an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra, is known to arise from a certain gauge fixing of 4-dimensional mixed topological-holomorphic Chern-Simons theory in the Hamiltonian framework. We show that the…
