چکیده
In this article we generalize the discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics on Lie groups to non-associative objects generalizing (smooth loops). This shows that associativity assumption is not crucial for opens new perspectives. As a working example obtain unitary octonions.

Quaternions and Octonions in Mechanics
In fact, this group is Spin(3), the 2-fold cover of SO(3), the group of rotations of R. This has been known for quite some time and is perhaps the simplest realization of Hamilton’s expectations about the potential of quaternions for physics. One reason for the renewed interest is the fact that the resulting substitution of matrices by quaternions speeds up considerably the numerical calculatio...
متن کاملFurther results on discrete unitary invariance
In arXiv:1607.06679, Marcus proved that certain functions of multiple matrices, when summed over the symmetries of the cube, decompose into functions of the original matrices. In this note, we generalize the results from the Marcus paper to a larger class of functions of multiple matrices. We also answer a problem posed in the Marcus paper. Marcus [1] exhibited certain functions that take multi...
متن کاملUnitary Evolution on a Discrete Phase Space
We construct unitary evolution operators on a phase space with power of two discretization. These operators realize the metaplectic representation of the modular group SL(2,Z2n). It acts in a natural way on the coordinates of the non-commutative 2-torus, T2n and thus is relevant for noncommutative field theories as well as theories of quantum space-time. The class of operators may also be usefu...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics on Discrete Space and Time
We propose the assumption of quantum mechanics on a discrete space and time, which implies the modification of mathematical expressions for some postulates of quantum mechanics. In particular we have a Hilbert space where the vectors are complex functions of discrete variable. As a concrete example we develop a discrete analog of the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator, using the depend...
متن کاملDiscrete Mechanics Based on Finite Element Methods
Discrete Mechanics based on finite element methods is presented in this paper. We also explore the relationship between this discrete mechanics and Veselov discrete mechanics. High order discretizations are constructed in terms of high order interpolations.
