We present some episodes from the history of interactions between geometry and physics over the past century.
We consider the problem of deforming simultaneously a pair of given structures. We show that such deformations are governed by an L-infinity algebra, which we construct explicitly. Our machinery is based on Th. Voronov's derived bracket…
We analyse the deformations of a cylindrical elastic body resulting from displacements in a varying gravitational field.
The statistical mechanics of flexible surfaces with internal elasticity and shape fluctuations is summarized. Phantom and self-avoiding isotropic and anisotropic membranes are discussed, with emphasis on the universal negative Poisson ratio…
Some aspects of the connection between differential geometry and multidimensional soliton equations are discussed.
The Poisson structure is constructed for a model in which spatial coordinates of configuration space are noncommutative and satisfy the commutation relations of a Lie algebra. The case is specialized to that of the group SU(2), for which…

We present a new scheme of defining invariant observables for general relativistic systems. The scheme is based on the introduction of an observer which endowes the construction with a straightforward physical interpretation. The…
In this paper, we consider Hamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type and some of their generalizations. In particular, we discuss the questions concerning the structure and special forms of the corresponding Poisson brackets and the…
We explore the rigidity of generic frameworks in 3-dimensions whose underlying graph is close to being planar. Specifically we consider apex graphs, edge-apex graphs and their variants and prove independence results in the generic…
The constitutive characterization of the uniformity and homogeneity of binary elastic composites is presented in terms of a combination of the material groupoids of the individual constituents. The incorporation of these two groupoids…

The relations between integrable Poisson algebras with three generators and two-dimensional manifolds are investigated. Poisson algebraic maps are also discussed.
The Poisson structure in the quaternion variables was proposed for asymmetric top in the external axially symmetric magnetic field. For that model of interaction the motion equation were got. The model was simulated in the neighbourhood of…
The dynamics of a rigid, rotating, precessing, massive ring orbiting a point mass within the perimeter of the ring are considered. It is demonstrated that orbits dynamically stable against perturbations in three dimensions exist for a range…
Some aspects of multidimensional soliton geometry are considered.
We give a natural definition of a Poisson Differential Algebra. Consistence conditions are formulated in geometrical terms. It is found that one can often locally put the Poisson structure on differential calculus in a simple canonical form…
We present a discussion about the local isometric rigidity problem in codimension 2 with a concrete example. We show the necessity of extending the notions of genuine and honest rigidity in order to have the transitivity property. In order…
We study the dynamics of extended rod-like bodies in (or associated with) membranes and films. We demonstrate a striking difference between the mobilities in films and bulk fluids, even when the dissipation is dominated by the fluid stress:…
