It is proposed how to impose a general type of ''noncommutativity'' within classical mechanics from first principles. Formulation is performed in completely alternative way, i.e. without any resort to fuzzy and/or star product philosophy,…

We study special Lagrangian fibrations of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-manifolds, not necessarily torsion-free. In the case where the fiber is a unimodular Lie group $G$, we decompose such $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structures into triples of solder 1-forms,…

In this paper we propose a process of Lagrangian reduction and reconstruction for symmetric discrete-time mechanical systems acted on by external forces, where the symmetry group action on the configuration manifold turns it into a…

Symmetries corresponding to local transformations of the fundamental fields that leave the action invariant give rise to (invertible) topological defects, which obey group-like fusion rules. One can construct more general (codimension-one)…

Under some suitable assumptions Riemannian manifolds $(M, g, H)$ that admit a connection $\hat\nabla$ with torsion a 3-form $H$, which is both closed $d H=0$ and $\hat\nabla$-covariantly constant, are locally isometric to a product $N\times…

The Ostrogradski approach for the Hamiltonian formalism of higher derivative theory is not satisfactory because of the reason that the Lagrangian cannot be viewed as a function on the tangent bundle to coordinate manifold. In this article,…

The Hilbert space of a free massless particle moving on a group manifold is studied in details using canonical quantisation. While the simplest model is invariant under a global symmetry, $G \times G$, there is a very natural way to…

The Lagrange--Poincar\'e equations for the mechanical system describing the motion of a scalar particle on a Riemannian manifold with a given free and isometric action of a compact Lie group is obtained. In an arising principle fibre…

A new approach for embedding the renormalization group running of Newton's constant and cosmological constant in gravity is proposed. This approach is based on a gravitational Lagrangian that gives rise to a new class of modified gravity…

We give a geometrical interpretation for the principle of stationary action in classical Lagrangian particle mechanics. In a nutshell, the difference of the action along a path and its variation effectively ``counts'' the possible…

Applied to field theory, the familiar symplectic technique leads to instantaneous Hamiltonian formalism on an infinite-dimensional phase space. A true Hamiltonian partner of first order Lagrangian theory on fibre bundles $Y\to X$ is…

In this paper we study the geometrical structures on the cotangent bundle using the notions of adapted tangent structure and regular vector fields. We prove that the dynamical covariant derivative on $T^{*}M$ fix a nonlinear connection for…

A "minimal" generalization of Quantum Mechanics is proposed, where the Lagrangian or the action functional is a mapping from the (classical) states of a system to the Lie algebra of a general compact Lie group, and the wave function takes…

We generalize the $(n+1)$-dimensional twisted $R$-Poisson topological sigma model with flux on a target Poisson manifold to a Lie algebroid. Analyzing consistency of constraints in the Hamiltonian formalism and the gauge symmetry in the…

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $M$ a smooth proper $G$-manifold. Let $pi:Mto M/G$ denote the natural map to the orbit space. Then there exist a PL manifold $P$, a polyhedron $L$ and homeomorphisms $tau:Pto M$ and $\sigma:M/Gto L$ such that…

We consider systems characterized by the presence of a rapidly oscillating force. A general method is presented for the construction of the effective action governing the large-scale nonlinear dynamics of such systems order by order in…

We describe a new method to formulate classical Lagrangian mechanics on a finite-dimensional Lie group. This new approach is much more pedagogical than many previous treatments of the subject, and it directly introduces students to…

For a discrete mechanical system on a Lie group $G$ determined by a (reduced) Lagrangian $\ell$ we define a Poisson structure via the pull-back of the Lie-Poisson structure on the dual of the Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}^*$ by the…

Action-dependent field theories are systems where the Lagrangian or Hamiltonian depends on new variables that encode the action. They model a larger class of field theories, including non-conservative behavior, while maintaining a…

The space of smooth sections of a symplectic fiber bundle carries a natural symplectic structure. We provide a general framework to determine the momentum map for the action of the group of bundle automorphism on this space. Since, in…
