In the covariant canonical approach to classical physics, each point in phase space represents an entire classical trajectory. Initial data at a fixed time serve as coordinates for this ``timeless'' phase space, and time evolution can be…
We study general relativity at a null boundary using the covariant phase space formalism. We define a covariant phase space and compute the algebra of symmetries at the null boundary by considering the boundary-preserving diffeomorphisms…
A theory of non-unitary-invertible as well as unitary canonical transformations is formulated in the context of Weyl's phase space representations. That all quantum canonical transformations without an explicit $\hbar$ dependence are also…
We illustrate how the different kinds of constraints acting on an impulsive mechanical system can be clearly described in the geometric setup given by the configuration space--time bundle $\pi_t:\mathcal{M} \to \mathbb{E}$ and its first jet…
Gapless fracton phases are characterized by the conservation of certain charges and their higher moments. These charges generically couple to higher rank gauge fields. In this paper we study systems conserving charge and dipole moment, and…
The formulation of classical mechanics applicable to fermionic degrees of freedom is presented in mathematically rigorous terms, including a description of how the mathematical structure relates to the quantization of the theory. Canonical…
Starting from vector fields that preserve a differential form on a Riemann sphere with Grassmann variables, one can construct a Superconformal Algebra by considering central extensions of the algebra of vector fields. In this note, the N=4…
We consider a relativistic charged particle in background electromagnetic fields depending on both space and time. We identify which symmetries of the fields automatically generate integrals (conserved quantities) of the charge motion,…
The influence of electric stochastic fields on the relativistic charged particles is investigated in the gauge invariant path integral formalism. Using the cumulant expansion one finds the exponential relaxation of the charge Green's…
Given two quasi-definite moment functionals, the corresponding orthogonal polynomial systems satisfy an algebraic differential relation(called an extended coherent pair). We study generalizing extended coherent pairs that unify extended…
The clockwork mechanism is a means of naturally generating exponential hierarchies in theories without significant hierarchies among fundamental parameters. We emphasize the role of interactions in the clockwork mechanism, demonstrating…
The derivation of absolute (moduli-independent) U-invariants for all N>2 extended supergravities at D=4 in terms of (moduli-dependent) central and matter charges is reported. These invariants give a general definition of the ``topological''…
In this paper, we present a review of the canonical structure of field theories defined on manifolds with time-like boundaries. The notion of differentiable generator is shown to be a requirement coming from the consistency of the…
This paper presents (in its Lagrangian version) a very general "historical" formalism for dynamical systems, including time-dynamics and field theories. It is based on the universal notion of history. Its condensed and universal formulation…
A family of systems related to a linear and bilinear evolution of roots of polynomials in the complex plane is considered. Restricted to the line, the evolution induces dynamics of the Coulomb charges in external potentials, while its fixed…
We study classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a probability distribution to the physical time, which is assumed to be discrete. In this way, a physical clock with discrete…
It is well known that the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formalisms can be combined and lead to "covariant symplectic" methods. For that purpose a "pre-symplectic form" has been constructed from the Lagrangian using the so-called Noether…
Classical cosmology exhibits a particular kind of scaling symmetry. The dynamics of the invariants of this symmetry forms a system that exhibits many of the features of open systems such as the non-conservation of mechanical energy and the…
We discuss free probability theory and free harmonic analysis from a categorical perspective. In order to do so, we extend first the set of analytic convolutions and operations and then show that the comonadic structure governing free…
Subobject independence as morphism co-possibility has recently been defined in [2] and studied in the context of algebraic quantum field theory. This notion of independence is handy when it comes to systems coming from physics, but when…
