We consider a class of Lagrangian theories where part of the coordinates does not have any time derivatives in the Lagrange function (we call such coordinates degenerate). We advocate that it is reasonable to reconsider the conventional…

We show that if the Lagrangean for a scalar field coupled to General Relativity only contains derivatives, then it is possible to completely deparametrise the theory. This means that 1.Physical observables, i.e. functions which Poisson…

A neo-classical relativistic mechanics theory is presented where the spin of an electron is a natural part of its space-time path as a point particle. The fourth-order equation of motion corresponds to the same Lagrangian function in proper…

We discuss the most general form of Dirac equation in the non$-$Riemannian spacetimes containing curvature, torsion and non$-$metricity. It includes all bases of the Clifford algebra $cl(1,3)$ within the spinor connection. We adopt two…

We study the relativistic formulation of a classical time-dependent nonholonomic Lagrangian mechanics from the perspective of moving frames. We also introduce time-dependent $G$-Chaplygin systems with affine constraints, which are natural…

The minimal (reduced) and extended canonical formulations for (2+1)-dimensional fractional spin particles are considered. We investigate the relationship between them, clearing up the meaning of the coordinates for such particles, and…

Using Grassmann variant of classical mechanics, we construct Lagrangian dynamics of classical spinning particle in (possibly non-abelian) gauge fields. Quantization of this model is briefly discussed.

The notion of a classical particle is inferred from Dirac quantum fields on a curved space-time, by an eikonal approximation and a localization hypothesis for amplitudes. This procedure allows to define a semi-classical version of the…

We review recent efforts to construct gravitational theories on discrete space-times, usually referred to as the ``consistent discretization'' approach. The resulting theories are free of constraints at the canonical level and therefore…

In a realistic scenario, the evolution of the rotational dynamics of a celestial or artificial body is subject to dissipative effects. Time-varying non-conservative forces can be due to, for example, a variation of the moments of inertia or…

Causal rigid particles whose action includes an {\it arbitrary} dependence on the world-line extrinsic curvature are considered. General classes of solutions are constructed, including {\it causal tachyonic} ones. The Hamiltonian…

Time crystals are exotic phases of matter characterized by a broken time-translational symmetry, such that the ground state of the system evolves in time in a periodic fashion. Even though the time-crystal concept was introduced relatively…

One of the less well understood ambiguities of quantization is emphasized to result from the presence of higher-order time derivatives in the Lagrangians resulting in multiple-valued Hamiltonians. We explore certain classes of branched…

New, gauge-independent, second-order Lagrangian for the motion of classical, charged test particles is used to derive the corresponding Hamiltonian formulation. For this purpose a Hamiltonian description of the theories derived from the…

In this paper we consider a generalized classical mechanics with fractional derivatives. The generalization is based on the time-clock randomization of momenta and coordinates taken from the conventional phase space. The fractional…

It has been found that complex non-Hermitian quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians may have entirely real spectra and generate unitary time evolution if they possess an unbroken $\cP\cT$ symmetry. A well-studied class of such Hamiltonians is $H=…

For certain non-magnetic solids with low symmetry the occurrence of spin-polarized longitudinal currents is predicted. These arise due to an interplay of spin-orbit interaction and the particular crystal symmetry. This result is derived…

The classical Lagrange formalism is generalized to the case of arbitrary stationary (but not necessarily conservative) dynamical systems. It is shown that the equations of motion for such systems can be derived in the standard ways from the…

We study a slow classical system [particle] coupled to a fast quantum system with discrete energy spectrum. We adiabatically exclude the quantum system and construct an autonomous dynamics for the classical particle in successive orders of…

We pursue the view that quantum theory may be an emergent structure related to large space-time scales. In particular, we consider classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a…
