It is shown that the cotangent bundle of a matched pair Lie group is itself a matched pair Lie group. The trivialization of the cotangent bundle of a matched pair Lie group are presented. On the trivialized space, the canonical symplectic…

We present the basic formulation of Hamilton dynamics in complex phase space. We extend the Hamilton's function by including the imaginary part and find out the corresponding Hamilton's canonical equation of motion. Example of simple…

This work builds on an existing model of discrete canonical evolution and applies it to the general case of a linear dynamical system, i.e., a finite-dimensional system with configuration space isomorphic to $ \mathbb{R}^{q} $ and linear…

In this paper, we study the determination of Hamiltonian from a given equations of motion. It can be cast into a problem of matrix factorization after reinterpretation of the system as first-order evolutionary equations in the phase space…

We introduce the notion of a real form of a Hamiltonian dynamical system in analogy with the notion of real forms for simple Lie algebras. This is done by restricting the complexified initial dynamical system to the fixed point set of a…

In many Lagrangian field theories one has a Poisson bracket defined on the space of local functionals. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a transformation on the space of local functionals to be canonical in three different…

A method to construct Hamiltonian theories for systems of both ordinary and partial differential equations is presented. The knowledge of a Lagrangian is not at all necessary to achieve the result. The only ingredients required for the…

We consider Hamiltonian formulation of a dynamical system forced to move on a submanifold $G_\alpha(q^A)=0$. If for some reasons we are interested in knowing the dynamics of all original variables $q^A(t)$, the most economical would be a…

We prove the existence of a unitary transformation that enables two arbitrarily given Hamiltonians in the same Hilbert space to be transformed into one another. The result is straightforward yet, for example, it lays the foundation to…

Using the example of the harmonic oscillator, we illustrate the use of hybrid dynamical brackets in analyzing quantum-classical interaction. We only assume that a hybrid dynamical bracket exists, is bilinear, and reduces to the pure…

It is most common to construct the Hamiltonian function and Hamilton's canonical equations through a Legendre transformation of the Lagrangean function or through the central equation. These common perspectives, however, seem abstract and…

The traditional method of teaching canonical transformations involves the introduction of generating functions of various types. This method obscures the underlying structure of the Hamiltonian least-action principle, and can make a…

Continuum mechanics can be formulated in the Lagrangian frame (addressing motion of individual continuum particles) or in the Eulerian frame (addressing evolution of fields in an inertial frame). There is a canonical Hamiltonian structure…

Reversible evolution of macroscopic and mesoscopic systems can be conveniently constructed from two ingredients: an energy functional and a Poisson bracket. The goal of this paper is to elucidate how the Poisson brackets can be constructed…

We resurrect a standard construction of analytical mechanics dating from the last century. The technique allows one to pass from any dynamical system whose first order evolution equations are known, and whose bracket algebra is not…

Canonical transformations are ubiquitous in Hamiltonian mechanics, since they not only describe the fundamental invariance of the theory under phase-space reparameterisations, but also generate the dynamics of the system. In the first part…

The Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the sense of Poincar\'e, i.e. formulated in the extended phase space and including regularization, is revisited building canonical transformations with the purpose of Hamiltonian reduction. We illustrate our…

The extensive analysis of the dynamics of relativistic spinning particles is presented. Using the coadjoint orbits method the Hamiltonian dynamics is explicitly described. The main technical tool is the factorization of general Lorentz…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for an existence of the Poisson brackets significantly simplify in the Liouville coordinates. The corresponding equations can be integrated. Thus, a description of local Hamiltonian structures is a first…

In our previous papers [11,13] we showed that the Hamilton-Jacobi problem can be regarded as a way to describe a given dynamics on a phase space manifold in terms of a family of dynamics on a lower-dimensional manifold. We also showed how…
