We consider Hamilton-Jacobi equations in one space dimension with Hamiltonians of the form $H(p,x,\omega) = G(p) + \beta V(x,\omega)$, where $V(\cdot,\omega)$ is a stationary and ergodic potential of unit amplitude. The homogenization of…
In this manuscript, we show that three fundamental building blocks are supporting the Cosmological Principle. The first of them states that there is a special frame in the universe where the spatial geometry is intrinsically homogeneous and…
We prove that, contrary to the common belief, the classical Maxwell electrodynamics of a point-like particle may be formulated as an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. We derive well defined quasi-Hamiltonian which possesses direct…
It is known that in low dimensions WDVV equations can be rewritten as commuting quasilinear bi-Hamiltonian systems. We extend some of these results to arbitrary dimension $N$ and arbitrary scalar product $\eta$. In particular, we show that…
The Hamiltonians of $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions can be expressed in terms of gauge invariant spatial geometric variables, i.e., metrics, connections and curvature tensors which are simple local functions of the…
