The standard formulation of Jacobi manifolds in terms of differential operators on line bundles, although effective at capturing most of the relevant geometric features, lacks a clear algebraic interpretation similar to how Poisson algebras…

A carefully motivated symmetric variant of the Poisson bracket in ordinary (not Grassmann) phase space variables is shown to satisfy identities which are in algebraic correspondence with the anticommutation postulates for quantized Fermion…

We study the Poisson structure associated to the defocusing Ablowitz-Ladik equation from a functional-analytical point of view, by reexpressing the Poisson bracket in terms of the associated Caratheodory function. Using this expression, we…

We provide an account of the issue of Gibbons-Hawking-York-like boundary terms for a gravity theory defined on a Riemman-Cartan spacetime. We further discuss different criteria for introducing boundary terms in some familiar first-order…

We discuss an embedding of a vector field for the nonholonomic Routh sphere into a subgroup of commuting Hamiltonian vector fields on six dimensional phase space. The corresponding Poisson brackets are reduced to the canonical Poisson…

We analyse the problem of boundary conditions for the Poisson-Sigma model and extend previous results showing that non-coisotropic branes are allowed. We discuss the canonical reduction of a Poisson structure to a submanifold, leading to a…

The study of complex systems through the lens of category theory consistently proves to be a powerful approach. We propose that cognition deserves the same category-theoretic treatment. We show that by considering a highly-compact cognitive…

As it is well-known, Poisson brackets play a fundamental role both in mechanics and in classical field theories. In this paper we develop a theory of extensions of graded Poisson brackets in graded Dirac manifolds. We then show how these…

It is shown that the Regge-Teitelboim criterion for fixing the unique boundary contribution to the Hamiltonian compatible with free boundary conditions should be modified if the Poisson structure is noncanonical. The new criterion requires…

Free initial data for general relativity on a pair of intersecting null hypersurfaces are well known, but the lack of a Poisson bracket and concerns about caustics have stymied the development of a constraint free canonical theory. Here it…

The standard definition of the Poisson brackets is generalized to the non-equal-time Poisson brackets. Their relationship to the equal-time Poisson brackets, as well as to the equal- and non-equal-time commutators, is discussed.

Assuming that the Hamiltonian of a canonical field theory can be written in the form N H + N^i H_i, and using as the only input the actual choice of the canonical variables, we derive: (i) The algebra satisfied by H and H_i, (ii) any…

A general approach is proposed to constructing covariant Poisson brackets in the space of histories of a classical field-theoretical model. The approach is based on the concept of Lagrange anchor, which was originally developed as a tool…

The Hamiltonian treatment of constrained systems in $G\ddot{u}ler's$ formalism leads us to the total differential equations in many variables. These equations are integrable if the corresponding system of partial differential equations is a…

We use the hamiltonian formalism to study the asymptotic structure of 3 dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We start by defining very general fall-off conditions for the canonical variables and study the implied…

This paper illustrates the richness of the concept of regular sets of time bounds and demonstrates its application to problems of computational complexity. There is a universe of bounds whose regular subsets allow to represent several time…

We give a geometric description of the Poisson boundaries of certain extensions of free and hyperbolic groups. In particular, we get a full description of the Poisson boundaries of free-by-cyclic groups. We rely upon the description of…

Ideas from the theory of multisymplectic systems, introduced recently in integrable systems by the author and Kundu to discuss Liouville integrability in classical field theories with a defect, are applied to the sine-Gordon model. The key…

We consider the Poisson sigma model associated to a Poisson manifold. The perturbative quantization of this model yields the Kontsevich star product formula. We study here the classical model in the Hamiltonian formalism. The phase space is…

A new n-dimensional family of Poisson structures is globally characterized and analyzed, including the construction of its main features: the symplectic structure and the reduction to the Darboux canonical form. Examples are given and…
