The {\it {gauge - fixing} } and {\it gaugeless } methods for reducing the phase space in the generalized Hamiltonian dynamics are compared with the aim to define the class of admissible gauges . In the gaugeless approach, the reduced phase…
We combine different techniques to extract information about the logarithmic contributions to the two-body conservative dynamics within the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation of General Relativity. The logarithms come from the conservative…
Canonical transformations are ubiquitous in Hamiltonian mechanics, since they not only describe the fundamental invariance of the theory under phase-space reparameterisations, but also generate the dynamics of the system. In the first part…
Relativistic Quantum Mechanics suffers from structural problems which are traced back to the lack of a position operator $\hat{x}$, satisfying $[\hat{x},\hat{p}]=i\hbar\hat{1}$ with the ordinary momentum operator $\hat{p}$, in the basic…
It is well known that in a generally covariant gravitational theory the choice of spacetime scalars as coordinates yields phase-space observables (or "invariants"). However their relation to the symmetry group of diffeomorphism…
We give a combinatorial classification for the class of postcritically fixed Newton maps of polynomials as dynamical systems. This lays the foundation for classification results of more general classes of Newton maps. A fundamental…
We present a new approach to describe the dynamics of an isolated, gravitationally bound astronomical $N$-body system in the weak field and slow-motion approximation of the general theory of relativity. Celestial bodies are described using…

There is a review of the physical theories needing Dirac-Bergmann theory of constraints at the Hamiltonian level due to the existence of gauge symmetries. It contains: i) the treatment of systems of point particles in special relativity…
In the first order form, the model considered by Strobl presents, besides local Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariances, an additional local non-linear symmetry. When the model is realized as a Poincar\'e gauge theory according to the…
The status of canonical reduction for metric and tetrad gravity in space-times of the Christodoulou-Klainermann type, where the ADM energy rules the time evolution, is reviewed. Since in these space-times there is an asymptotic Minkowski…
While internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles are dictated by the little groups of the Poincar\'e group, it is possible to construct representations of the little group for massive particles starting from harmonic…
Special-relativistic dynamically-generated elementary-particle mass is represented by a self-adjoint energy operator acting on a rigged Hilbert space (RHS) of functions over the 6-dimensional Euclidean-group manifold. The energy operator is…
Advanced methods for computing perturbative, quantum-gravitational scattering amplitudes show great promise for improving our knowledge of classical gravitational dynamics. This is especially true in the weak-field and arbitrary-speed…
We study the equation of motion appropriate to an inspiralling binary star system whose constituent stars have strong internal gravity. We use the post-Newtonian approximation with the strong field point particle limit by which we can…
After a study of the Hamiltonian group of gauge transformations of canonical tetrad gravity on globally hyperbolic, asymptotically flat at spatial infinity, spacetimes with Cauchy hypersurfaces $\Sigma_{\tau}$ diffeomorphic to $R^3, we find…
This work builds on an existing model of discrete canonical evolution and applies it to the general case of a linear dynamical system, i.e., a finite-dimensional system with configuration space isomorphic to $ \mathbb{R}^{q} $ and linear…
Within the post Newtonian framework the fully reduced Hamiltonian (i.e., with eliminated spin supplementary condition) for the next-to-leading order spin-squared dynamics of general compact binaries is presented. The Hamiltonian is…
