Massive integrable field theories in $1+1$ dimensions are defined at the Lagrangian level, whose classical equations of motion are related to the ``non-abelian'' Toda field equations. They can be thought of as generalizations of the…

This paper has three objectives. First to recall the link between the classical Legendre-Fenschel transformation and a useful isomorphism between 1-jets of functions on a vector bundle and on its dual. As a particular consequence we obtain…

Classical field theory is adequately formulated as Lagrangian theory on fibre bundles and graded manifolds. One however observes that non-trivial higher stage Noether identities and gauge symmetries of a generic reducible degenerate…

Systems of partial differential equations lie at the heart of physics. Despite this, the general theory of these systems has remained rather obscure in comparison to numerical approaches such as finite element models and various other…

We investigate the existence of coordinate transformations which bring a given vector field on a manifold equipped with an involutive distribution into the form of a second-order differential equation field with parameters. We define…

We propose a category of bundles in order to perform Lagrangian reduction by stages in covariant Field Theory. This category plays an analogous role to Lagrange-Poincar\'e bundles in Lagrangian reduction by stages in Mechanics and includes…

We study, theoretically and experimentally, a 1-parameter family of transformations and their limiting vector field on the space of plane polygons. These transformations are discrete analogs of completely integrable transformation on closed…

Starting from a recently proposed linear formulation in terms of auxiliary fields, we study $n$-field generalizations of Born and Born-Infeld theories. In this description the Lagrangian is quadratic in the vector field strengths and the…

A new notion of integrability called the multi-dimensional consistency for the integrable systems with the Lagrangian 1-form structure is captured in the geometrical language for quantum level. A zero-curvature condition, which implies the…

Building on the interplay between geometry and integrability, we show that F-manifolds with compatible connection $(\nabla,\circ,e)$ are the geometric counterpart of integrable systems of quasilinear first order evolutionary PDEs. We…

We develop a reduction theory for $G$-invariant Lagrangian field theories defined on the higher-order jet bundle of a principal $G$-bundle, thus obtaining the higher-order Euler-Poincar\'e field equations. To that end, we transfer the…

New constructions in the theory of fields for multiple integrals are designed. Generalizations of the Legendre - Weyl - Caratheodory transforms and corresponding invariant integrals are introduced and explored. Connection and curvature of…

For symmetric classical field theories on principal bundles there are two methods of symmetry reduction: covariant and dynamic. Assume that the classical field theory is given by a symmetric covariant Lagrangian density defined on the first…

Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational framework for integrable systems. In this article we introduce a new formulation which is based on symplectic geometry and which treats position, momentum and time coordinates of a…

This is a note in which we first review symmetries of moduli spaces of stable meromorphic connections on trivial vector bundles over the Riemann sphere, and next discuss symmetries of their integrable deformations as an application. In the…

Building on the Utiyama principle we formulate an approach to Lagrangian field theory in which exterior covariant differentials of vector-valued forms replace partial derivatives, in the sense that they take up the role played by the latter…
