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 …

The category of Z 2 n-supermanifolds

T Covolo, J Grabowski, N Poncin - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
In physics and in mathematics Z 2 n-gradings, n≥ 2, appear in various fields. The
corresponding sign rule is determined by the “scalar product” of the involved Z 2 n-degrees …

Contact geometric mechanics: the Tulczyjew triples

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - arxiv preprint arxiv:2209.03154, 2022 - arxiv.org
We propose a generalization of the classical Tulczyjew triple as a geometric tool in
Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalisms which serves for contact manifolds. The role of the …

The supergeometry of Loday algebroids

J Grabowski, D Khudaverdyan, N Poncin - arxiv preprint arxiv:1103.5852, 2011 - arxiv.org
A new concept of Loday algebroid (and its pure algebraic version-Loday pseudoalgebra) is
proposed and discussed in comparison with other similar structures present in the literature …

Dirac reduction for nonholonomic mechanical systems and semidirect products

F Gay-Balmaz, H Yoshimura - Advances in Applied Mathematics, 2015 - Elsevier
This paper develops the theory of Dirac reduction by symmetry for nonholonomic systems on
Lie groups with broken symmetry. The reduction is carried out for the Dirac structures, as …
