It is shown that the Euler-Lagrange equations for a Lagrangian system on a Lie algebroid are obtained as the equations for the critical points of the action functional defined on a Banach manifold of curves. The theory of reduction and the…
We propose an approach to Carrollian geometry using principal $\mathbb{R}^\times$-bundles ($\mathbb{R}^\times := \matthbb{R} \setminus \{0\}$) equipped with a degenerate metric whose kernel is the module of vertical vector fields. The…
Endomorphisms algebras can replace the concept of principal fiber bundle. Gauge theories are reformulated within this algebraic framework and further generalized to unify ordinary connections and Higgs fields. A 'noncommutative Maxwell'…
A discrete version of Lagrangian reduction is developed in the context of discrete time Lagrangian systems on $G\times G$, where $G$ is a Lie group. We consider the case when the Lagrange function is invariant with respect to the action of…
The group of automorphisms of the geometry of an integrable system is considered. The geometrical structure used to obtain it is provided by a normal form representation of integrable systems that do not depend on any additional geometrical…

The main purpose of this note is the study of the total space of a holomorphic Lie algebroid $E$. The paper is structured in three parts. In the first section we briefly introduce basic notions on holomorphic Lie algebroids. The local…
We develop a constructive procedure for arriving at the Hamilton-Jacobi framework for the so-called affine in acceleration theories by analysing the canonical constraint structure. We find two scenarios in dependence of the order of the…
We extend known constructions of almost-Poisson brackets and their gauge transformations to nonholonomic systems whose Lagrangian is not mechanical but possesses a gyroscopic term linear in the velocities. The new feature introduced by such…
We construct a lagrangian geometric formulation for first-order field theories using the canonical structures of first-order jet bundles, which are taken as the phase spaces of the systems in consideration. First of all, we construct all…
Horizontal endomorphisms, almost complex structures, vertical, horizontal and complete lifts on prolongation of a Lie algebroid are considered. Then using exact sequences, semisprays are constructed. Moreover, important geometrical objects…
We introduce the concept of a higher algebroid, generalizing the notions of an algebroid and a higher tangent bundle. Our ideas are based on a description of (Lie) algebroids as vector bundle comorphisms - differential relations of a…
We take advantage of different generalizations of the tangent manifold to the context of graded manifolds, together with the notion of super section along a morphism of graded manifolds, to obtain intrinsic definitions of the main objects…
In this paper, we introduce a family of generalized Donaldson's functional on holomorphic vector bundles, whose Euler-Lagrange equations are a vector bundle version of the complex $k$-Hessian equations. We also discuss the uniqueness of…
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…
The obstruction to construct a Lagrangian bundle over a fixed integral affine manifold was constructed by Dazord and Delzant in \cite{daz_delz} and shown to be given by `twisted' cup products in \cite{sepe_lag}. This paper uses the topology…
In this article, we review the current status of Finsler-Lagrange geometry and generalizations. The goal is to aid non-experts on Finsler spaces, but physicists and geometers skilled in general relativity and particle theories, to…
We give a full classification of general affine connections on Galilei manifolds in terms of independently specifiable tensor fields. This generalises the well-known case of (torsional) Galilei connections, i.e. connections compatible with…
Using the dependent coordinates, the local Lagrange-Poincar\'e equations and equations for the relative equilibria are obtained for a mechanical system with a symmetry describing the motion of two interacting scalar particles on a special…
Much of arithmetic geometry is concerned with the study of principal bundles. They occur prominently in the arithmetic of elliptic curves and, more recently, in the study of the Diophantine geometry of curves of higher genus. In particular,…
