GEOMETRIC FORMULATION OF NON-AUTONOMOUS MECHANICS

We address classical and quantum mechanics in a general setting of arbitrary timedependent transformations. Classical non-relativistic mechanics is formulated as a particular field theory on smooth…

We address classical and quantum mechanics in a general setting of arbitrary time-dependent transformations. Classical non-relativistic mechanics is formulated as a particular field theory on smooth…

GEOMETRY OF LAGRANGIAN AND HAMILTONIAN FORMALISMS IN THE DYNAMICS OF STRINGS

The Lagrangian description of mechanical systems and the Legendre Transformation (considered as a passage from the Lagrangian to the Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics) for point-like objects,…

MULTISYMPLECTIC GEOMETRY AND k-COSYMPLECTIC STRUCTURE FOR THE FIELD THEORIES AND THE RELATIVISTIC MECHANICS

The aim of this work is twofold: First, we extend the multisymplectic geometry already done for field theories to the relativistic mechanics by introducing an appropriate configuration bundle. In…

Relativistic mechanics in a general setting

Relativistic mechanics on an arbitrary manifold is formulated in the terms of jets of its one-dimensional submanifolds. A generic relativistic Lagrangian is constructed. Relativistic mechanics on a…

New Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods in Field Theory

This work incorporates three modern aspects of mathematical physics: the jet methods in differntial geometry, the Lagrangian formalism on jet manifolds and the multimomentum approach to the…

Geometrical Setting of Time-Dependent Regular Systems:. Alternative Models.

We analyse exhaustively the geometric formulations of the time-dependent regular dynamical systems, both the Hamiltonian and the Lagrangian formalisms. We study the equivalence between the different…

Hamiltonian time-dependent mechanics

The usual formulation of time-dependent mechanics implies a given splitting Y=R×M of an event space Y. This splitting, however, is broken by any time-dependent transformation, including…

On the notion of gauge symmetries of generic Lagrangian field theory

General Lagrangian theory of even and odd fields on an arbitrary smooth manifold is considered. Its nontrivial reducible gauge symmetries and their algebra are defined in this very general setting by…

String theory.

The current “standard model” of particle physics—which is nearly 25 years old, has much experimental evidence in its favor and is comprised of six quarks, six leptons, four forces, and the as yet unobserved Higgs boson—contains internal indications that it, too, may be just another step along the path toward uncovering the truly fundamental degrees of freedom.

String theory

Abstract For each n > 0, two alternative axiomatizations of the theory of strings over n alphabetic characters are presented. One class of axiomatizations derives from Tarski's system of the…

Some variations on the notion of connection

Distributions on manifolds are studied in terms of jets of submanifolds and are interpreted as «pre-connections» or «almost-fibrings»; the associated differential calculus is developed in detail. A…
