The formalism of nilpotent mechanics is introduced in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian form. Systems are described using nilpotent, commuting coordinates $\eta$. Necessary geometrical notions and elements of generalized differential…
In Hamiltonian time-dependent mechanics, the Poisson bracket does not define dynamic equations, that implies the corresponding peculiarities of describing time-dependent holonomic constraints. As in conservative mechanics, one can consider…
The Hamiltonian description for a wide class of mechanical systems, having local symmetry transformations depending on time derivatives of the gauge parameters of arbitrary order, is constructed. The Poisson brackets of the Hamiltonian and…
Groupoids are mathematical structures able to describe symmetry properties more general than those described by groups. They were introduced (and named) by H. Brandt in 1926. Around 1950, Charles Ehresmann used groupoids with additional…
We exploit the rich algebraic structure of the interacting boson model to explain the notion of partial dynamical symmetry (PDS), and present a procedure for constructing Hamiltonians with this property. We demonstrate the relevance of PDS…

We bring together aspects of covariant Hamiltonian field theory and of classical integrable field theories in $1+1$ dimensions. Specifically, our main result is to obtain for the first time the classical $r$-matrix structure within a…
Odd symplectic Grassmannians are a generalization of symplectic Grassmannians to odd-dimensional spaces. Here we compute the classical and quantum cohomology of the odd symplectic Grassmannian of lines. Although these varieties are non…
Continuous formal deformations of the Poisson superbracket defined on compactly supported smooth functions on R^n taking values in a Grassmann algebra are described up to an equivalence transformation. It is shown that there are additional…
Motivated by the problem of longitudinal data assimilation, e.g., in the registration of a sequence of images, we develop the higher-order framework for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetry in geometric mechanics. In particular,…
First-class constraints constitute a potential obstacle to the computation of a Poisson bracket in Dirac's theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems. Using the pseudoinverse instead of the inverse of the matrix defined by the Poisson…
There are several plasma models intermediate in complexity between ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and two-fluid theory, with Hall and Extended MHD being two important examples. In this paper we investigate several aspects of these…
We construct a Poisson map $\mathbf{M}\colon T^{*}\mathbb{C}^{2} \to \mathfrak{se}(3)^{*}$ with respect to the canonical Poisson bracket on $T^{*}\mathbb{C}^{2} \cong T^{*}\mathbb{R}^{4}$ and the $(-)$-Lie--Poisson bracket on the dual…
We compute the Poisson bracket relations for the monodromy matrix of the auxiliary linear problem. If the basic Poisson bracket relations of the model contain derivatives, this computation leads to a peculiar type of symmetry breaking which…
We investigate (pseudo)differential forms in the framework of supergeometry. Definitions, basic properties and Cartan calculus (DeRham differential, Lie derivative, inner product, Hodge operator) are presented; the symplectic supermechanics…
The inverse problem of calculus of variations and $s$-equivalence are re-examined by using results obtained from non-commutative geometry ideas. The role played by the structure of the modified Poisson brackets is discussed in a general…
We extend the covariant canonical formalism recently discussed in ref. [1] to geometric theories coupled to both bosonic and fermionic $p$-forms. This allows a covariant hamiltonian treatment of supergravity theories. As examples we present…
In this paper we present a novel construction of non-homogeneous hydrodynamic equations from what we call quasi-St\"ackel systems, that is non-commutatively integrable systems constructed from appropriate maximally superintegrable St\"ackel…
We show that if a generator of a differential Gerstenhaber algebra satisfies certain Cartan-type identities, then the corresponding Lie bracket is formal. Geometric examples include the shifted de Rham complex of a Poisson manifold and the…
Discretizations of the Bogoyavlensky lattices are introduced, belonging to the same hierarchies as the continuous--time systems. The construction exemplifies the general scheme for integrable discretization of systems on Lie algebras with…
