In Part I of the present series of papers, we adumbrate our idea of Riemannian geometry to higher order in the infinitesimals and derive expressions for the appropriate generalizations of parallel transport and the Riemannian curvature…
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 introduce a new theory of generalised solutions which applies to fully nonlinear PDE systems of any order and allows for merely measurable maps as solutions. This approach bypasses the standard problems arising by the application of…
We explain how It\^o Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) on manifolds may be defined using 2-jets of smooth functions. We show how this relationship can be interpreted in terms of a convergent numerical scheme. We show how jets can be…
Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…
New third- and fourth-order Lagrangian hierarchies are derived in this paper. The free coefficients in the leading terms satisfy the most general differential geometric criteria currently known for the existence of a variational…
For For a given PDE system, or an exterior differential system possessing a Lie group of internal symmetries the orbit reduction procedure is introduced. It is proved that the solutions of the reduced exterior differential system are in…
Constants of motion are usually derived from groups of symmetry transformation of the system. Here we show that useful properties of the system can be deduced from a family of Noether-like transformations that are not inspired by any…
Given a map $u : \Om \sub \R^n \larrow \R^N$, the $\infty$-Laplacian is the system \[ \label{1} \De_\infty u \, :=\, \Big(Du \ot Du + |Du|^2 [Du]^\bot \ \ot I \Big) : D^2 u\, = \, 0 \tag{1} \] and arises as the "Euler-Lagrange PDE" of the…
A unified approach to the representation of solutions of linear PDE's with constant coefficients in high dimensions in terms of solutions of the same PDE's in lower dimensions is presented. It is based on the observation that if a function…
We state the intrinsic form of the Hamiltonian equations of first-order Classical Field theories in three equivalent geometrical ways: using multivector fields, jet fields and connections. Thus, these equations are given in a form similar…
A new approach was recently introduced by the authors for constructing analytic solutions of the linear PDEs describing elastodynamics. Here, this approach is applied to the case of a homogeneous isotropic half-space body satisfying…
The well-known geometric approach to field theory is based on description of classical fields as sections of fibred manifolds, e.g. bundles with a structure group in gauge theory. In this approach, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms…
We study the structure and dynamics of the infinite sequence of extensions of the Poincar{\'e} algebra whose method of construction was described in a previous paper [1]. We give explicitly the Maurer-Cartan (MC) 1-forms of the extended Lie…
The aim of these notes is to describe how to construct canonical bundles of moving frames and differential invariants for parametrized curves in Lagrangian Grassmannians, at least in the monotonic case. Such curves appear as Jacobi curves…
Many physically important mechanical systems may be described with a Lie group $G$ as configuration space. According to the well-known Noether's theorem, underlying symmetries of the Lie group may be used to considerably reduce the…
The fibre bundle formulation of gauge theory is generally accepted. The jet manifold machinery completes this formulation and provides the adequate mathematical description of dynamics of fields represented by sections of fibre bundles.…
We derive a Cartesian componentwise description of the covariant derivative of tangential tensor fields of any degree on general manifolds. This allows to reformulate any vector- and tensor-valued surface PDE in a form suitable to be solved…
We study the Lie point symmetries of a general class of partial differential equations (PDE) of second order. An equation from this class naturally defines a second-order symmetric tensor (metric). In the case the PDE is linear on the first…
The Hamiltonian description of mechanical or field models defined by singular Lagrangians plays a central role in physics. A number of methods are known for this purpose, the most popular of them being the one developed by Dirac. Here, we…
