Singular theories, characterised by the presence of degeneracies in their Lagrangian or Hamiltonian descriptions, require the systematic implementation of constraints in order to obtain well-defined dynamics. While the symplectic framework…

The conventional formulation of the Method of Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) in contact mechanics is only applicable two "point contacts", that is to contacts of two unbounded three-dimensional bodies over final contact area. We analyze…

We complete the reduction of Sasakian manifolds with the non-zero case by showing that Willett's contact reduced space is compatible with the Sasakian structure. We then prove the compatibility of the non-zero Sasakian (in particular,…
