A geometric approach to contact Hamiltonians and contact Hamilton–Jacobi theory
K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a novel approach to contact Hamiltonian mechanics which, in contrast to the
one dominating in the literature, serves also for non-trivial contact structures. In this …

Remarks on contact and Jacobi geometry
We present an approach to Jacobi and contact geometry that makes many facts, presented
in the literature in an overcomplicated way, much more natural and clear. The key concepts …

Foundations of ghost stability
VE Díez, JG Rifà, G Staudt - arxiv preprint arxiv:2408.16832, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present a new method to analytically prove global stability in ghost-ridden dynamical
systems. Our proposal encompasses all prior results and consequentially extends them. In …

[HTML][HTML] Linear duals of graded bundles and higher analogues of (Lie) algebroids
Graded bundles are a class of graded manifolds which represent a natural generalisation of
vector bundles and include the higher order tangent bundles as canonical examples. We …

Graded bundles in the category of Lie groupoids
We define and make initial study of Lie groupoids equipped with a compatible homogeneity
(or graded bundle) structure, such objects we will refer to as weighted Lie groupoids. One …

VB-structures and generalizations
Motivated by properties of higher tangent lifts of geometric structures, we introduce concepts
of weighted structures for various geometric objects on a manifold F equipped with a …

[HTML][HTML] Queer Poisson brackets
We give a method to construct Poisson brackets {⋅,⋅} on Banach manifolds M, for which the
value of {f, g} at some point may depend on higher order derivatives of the smooth functions …

Second-order constrained variational problems on Lie algebroids: applications to optimal control
L Colombo - arxiv preprint arxiv:1701.04772, 2017 - arxiv.org
The aim of this work is to study, from an intrinsic and geometric point of view, second-order
constrained variational problems on Lie algebroids, that is, optimization problems defined by …

Polarisation of graded bundles
We construct the full linearisation functor which takes a graded bundle of degree $ k $(a
particular kind of graded manifold) and produces a $ k $-fold vector bundle. We fully …
