The Darbroux transformation is generalized for time-dependent Hamiltonian systems which include a term linear in momentum and a time-dependent mass. The formalism for the $N$-fold application of the transformation is also established, and…
We give an account of the classical and integrable geometry of isothermic surfaces in arbitrary co-dimension. We show that the classical transformation theory of Darboux, Bianchi and Calapso goes through unchanged in arbitrary co-dimension…
An overview is given of recent developments in the field of Dirac equations generalized to curved space-times. An illustrative discussion is provided. We conclude with a variation of Dirac's large-number hypothesis which relates a number of…
By a series of simple examples, we illustrate how the lack of mathematical concern can readily lead to surprising mathematical contradictions in wave mechanics. The basic mathematical notions allowing for a precise formulation of the theory…
In 1693, Gottfried Whilhelm Leibniz published in the Acta Eruditorum a geometrical proof of the fundamental theorem of the calculus. During his notorious dispute with Isaac Newton on the development of the calculus, Leibniz denied any…
Discrepancy between periodic orbit theory and numerical calculation of a modified Kepler problem is cleared by a quantum mechanical calculation. The diagonal approximation already gives a good fit for the numerical calculation. A better…
The Dirac equation is generalized to $D+1$ space-time.The conserved angular momentum operators and their quantum numbers are discussed. The eigenfunctions of the total angular momenta are calculated for both odd $D$ and even $D$ cases. The…
To our knowledge, there are two main references [9], [12] regarding the periodical solutions of multi-time Euler-Lagrange systems, even if the multi-time equations appeared in 1935, being introduced by de Donder. That is why, the central…
The ergodic hypothesis outgrew from the ancient conception of motion as periodic or quasi periodic. It did cause a revision of our views of motion, particularly through Boltzmann and Poincar\'e: we discuss how Boltmann's conception of…
We introduce orbifolds from the classical point of view, using charts, and present orbifold versions of elementary objects from Algebraic Topology, such as the fundamental group, coverings and Euler characteristic; Differential…
The paper develops the idea that the dynamics of both classical and quantum processes is time reversible. It is shown how this classical analogy allows one to define the measure for the path integral in quantum mechanics.
We consider the algebraic setting of classical defects in discrete and continuous integrable theories. We derive the "equations of motion" on the defect point via the space-like and time-like description. We then exploit the structural…
The author exposes the metrical multi-time Lagrange geometry of physical fields which naturally generalizes the classical Lagrangian developped by Miron and Anastasiei. In other words, one constructs a natural theory of physical fields on…
Three problems stand in the way of deriving classical theories from quantum mechanics: those of realist interpretation, of classical properties and of quantum measurement. Recently, we have identified some tacit assumptions that lie at the…
Some elements of classical mechanics and classical statistical mechanics are formulated in terms of fibre bundles. In the bundle approach the dynamical and distribution functions are replaced by liftings of paths in a suitably chosen…
In this work we consider the numerical resolution of the bilateral obstacle optimal control problem given in Bergounioux et al. Where the main feature of this problem is that the control and the obstacle are the same.
The approach developped by Biedeharn in the sixties for the relativistic Coulomb problem is reviewed and applied to various physical problems.
The equation of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles in the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime is investigated. The retarded and advanced fundamental solutions to the Dirac operator and generalized Dirac operator as well as the…
As it is well known, classical mechanics consists of several basic features like determinism, reductionism, completeness of knowledge and mechanicism. In this article the basic assumptions are discussed which underlie those features. It is…
Two letters from William Burnside have recently been found in the Nachlass of Robert Fricke that contain instances of Burnside's Problem prior to its first publication. We present these letters as a whole to the public for the first time.…
