In the study of alternative or extended theories of gravity, Dirac's Hamiltonian constraint algorithm is invaluable for enumerating the propagating modes and gauge symmetries. For gravity, this canonical approach is frequently applied as a…

The notion of homogeneous tensors is discussed. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between multivector fields on a manifold $M$, homogeneous with respect to a vector field $\Delta$ on $M$, and first-order polydifferential…

In this paper, we first study the Poisson reductions of controlled Hamiltonian (CH) system and symmetric CH system by controllability distributions. These reductions are the extension of Poisson reductions by distribution for Poisson…

We prove a reduction theorem for the tangent bundle of a Poisson manifold $(M, \pi)$ endowed with a pre-Hamiltonian action of a Poisson Lie group $(G, \pi_G)$. In the special case of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group, we are able to…

The Hamiltonian formulation of the reduced Vlasov-Maxwell equations is expressed in terms of the macroscopic fields D and H. These macroscopic fields are themselves expressed in terms of the functional Lie-derivative generated by the…

Motivated by the problem of longitudinal data assimilation, e.g., in the registration of a sequence of images, we develop the higher-order framework for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetry in geometric mechanics. In particular,…

Constrained Hamiltonian systems fall into the realm of presymplectic geometry. We show, however, that also Poisson geometry is of use in this context. For the case that the constraints form a closed algebra, there are two natural Poisson…

We show that a classical result of Gromov in symplectic geometry extends to the context of symplectic foliations, which we regard as a $h$-principle for (regular) Poisson geometry. Namely, we formulate a sufficient cohomological criterion…

In this work we study B-field transformations of multiplicative Poisson bivectors on a Lie groupoid G. We are concerned with B-fields given by multiplicative closed 2-forms on G. We view Poisson groupoids and their B-field symmetries as…
