Using well known Lagrangean techniques for uncovering the gauge symmetries of a Lagrangean, we derive the transformation laws for the phase space variables corresponding to local symmetries of the Hamilton equations of motion. These…

We consider orbit configuration spaces associated to finite groups acting freely by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on the $2$-sphere minus a finite number of points. Such action is equivalent to a homography action of a finite…

A nonholonomic system consists of a configuration space Q, a Lagrangian L, and an nonintegrable constraint distribution H, with dynamics governed by Lagrange-d'Alembert's principle. We present two studies both using adapted moving frames.…

We study a Langevin equation for a particle moving in a periodic potential in the presence of viscosity $\gamma$ and subject to a further external field $\alpha$. For a suitable choice of the parameters $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ the related…

The structure of the gauge invariant (particle number preserving) C*-algebra generated by the resolvents of a non-relativistic Bose field is analyzed. It is shown to form a dense subalgebra of the bounded inverse limit of a system of…

For any closed symplectic manifold, we show that the number of 1-periodic orbits of a nondegenerate Hamiltonian thereon is bounded from below by a version of total Betti number over Z of the ambient space taking account of the total Betti…

We study partially hyperbolic homoclinic classes of $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms with a one-dimensional central bundle, so that the central Lyapunov exponent $\chi^c(\mu)$ is well defined for any ergodic measure $\mu$ supported on the…

Let $H$ be the space of all Hermitian matrices of infinite order and $U(\infty)$ be the inductive limit of the chain $U(1)\subset U(2)\subset...$ of compact unitary groups. The group $U(\infty)$ operates on the space $H$ by conjugations,…

We study almost sure limiting behavior of extreme and intermediate order statistics arising from strictly stationary sequences. First, we provide sufficient dependence conditions under which these order statistics converges almost surely to…

Within the framework of Lagrangian mechanics, the conservativeness of the hydrostatic forces acting on a floating rigid body is proved. The representation of the associated hydrostatic potential is explicitly worked out. The invariance of…

We present an array of new calculations in Lagrangian Floer theory which demonstrate observations relating to symplectic reduction, grading periodicity, and the closed-open map. We also illustrate Perutz's symplectic Gysin sequence and the…

Extending the approach of Grillakis-Shatah-Strauss, Bronski-Johnson-Kapitula, and others for Hamiltonian systems, we explore relations between the constrained variational problem $\min_{X:C(X)=c_0} \mathcal{E}(X)$, $c_0\in \RM^r$, and…

We prove a generalization of the Conley conjecture: Every Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed symplectic manifold has infinitely many periodic orbits if the first Chern class vanishes over the second fundamental group. In particular, we…

We analyze the relation of the notion of a pluri-Lagrangian system, which recently emerged in the theory of integrable systems, to the classical notion of variational symmetry, due to E. Noether. We treat classical mechanical systems and…

Let $\Lambda$ be an isolated non-trival transitive set of a $C^1$ generic diffeomorphism $f\in\Diff(M)$. We show that the space of invariant measures supported on $\Lambda$ coincides with the space of accumulation measures of time averages…

Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

The analysis of the dynamics of a material point perfectly constrained to a submanifold of the three-dimensional euclidean space and subjected to a locally conservative force's field, namely a force's field corresponding to a closed but not…

We prove that for any compact toric symplectic manifold, if a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism admits more fixed points, counted homologically, than the total Betti number, then it has infinitely many simple periodic points. This provides a vast…
