Although conservative Hamiltonian systems with constraints can be formulated in terms of Dirac structures, a more general framework is necessary to cover also dissipative systems such as gradient and metriplectic systems with constraints.…

We study the relation between algebraic structures and Graph Theory. We have defined five different weighted digraphs associated to a finite dimensional algebra over a field in order to tackle important properties of the associated…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple complex Lie algebra and let $\mathfrak{t} \subset \mathfrak{g}$ be a toral subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. As a $\mathfrak{t}$-module $\mathfrak{g}$ decomposes as \[\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s} \oplus…

Dirac cohomology is a new tool to study unitary and admissible representations of semisimple Lie groups. It was introduced by Vogan and further studied by Kostant and ourselves \cite{V2}, \cite{HP1}, \cite{Kdircoh}. The aim of this paper is…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra all of whose regular subalgebras of rank 2 are type $A_{1}\times A_{1}$, $A_{2}$, or $C_{2}$, and let $B$ be a crystal graph corresponding to a representation of $\mathfrak{g}$. We explicitly describe the…

In this article, we generalize the theory of discrete Lagrangian mechanics and variational integrators in two principal directions. First, we show that Lagrangian submanifolds of symplectic groupoids give rise to discrete dynamical systems,…

Many systems of interest in science and engineering are made up of interacting subsystems. These subsystems, in turn, could be made up of collections of smaller interacting subsystems and so on. In a series of papers David Spivak with…

We derive a formula for the the modular class of a Lie algebroid with a regular twisted Poisson structure in terms of a canonical Lie algebroid representation of the image of the Poisson map. We use this formula to compute the modular…

We discuss the use of Dirac structures to obtain a better understanding of the geometry of a class of optimal control problems and their reduction by symmetries. In particular we will show how to extend the reduction of Dirac structures…

This paper develops the theory of Dirac reduction by symmetry for nonholonomic systems on Lie groups with broken symmetry. The reduction is carried out for the Dirac structures, as well as for the associated Lagrange-Dirac and…

We discuss some linear algebra related to the Dirac matrix D of a finite simple graph G=(V,E).

The integrability of two symplectic maps, that can be considered as discrete-time analogs of the Garnier and Neumann systems is established in the framework of the $r$-matrix approach, starting from their Lax representation. In contrast…

We introduce the notion of omni-Lie 2-algebra, which is a categorification of Weinstein's omni-Lie algebras. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict Lie 2-algebra structures on 2-sub-vector spaces of a 2-vector…

Using well known Lagrangean techniques for uncovering the gauge symmetries of a Lagrangean, we derive the transformation laws for the phase space variables corresponding to local symmetries of the Hamilton equations of motion. These…

Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational framework for integrable systems. In this article we introduce a new formulation which is based on symplectic geometry and which treats position, momentum and time coordinates of a…

The tensor product of the division algebras, which is a kernel for the structure of the Standard Model, is also a root for the Clifford algebra of (1,9)-space-time. A conventional Dirac Lagrangian, employing the (1,9)-Dirac operator acting…

In this note, we define an analogue of R-matrices for bialgebras in the setting of a monad that is opmonoidal over two tensor products. Analogous to the classical case, such structures bijectively correspond to duoidal structures on the…

We study real and complex Manin triples for a complex reductive Lie algebra, $\g$. The first part includes, and extends to complex Manin triples, our earlier work [De]. First, we generalize results of E. Karolinsky, on the classification of…

The concept of Lagrange structure allows one to systematically quantize the Lagrangian and non-Lagrangian dynamics within the path-integral approach. In this paper, I show that any Lagrange structure gives rise to a covariant Poisson…

We define Dirac pairs on Jacobi algebroids, which is a generalization of Dirac pairs on Lie algebroids introduced by Kosmann-Schwarzbach. We show the relationship between Dirac pairs on Lie and on Jacobi algebroids, and that Dirac pairs on…
