Connection , Reduction , and the Falling Cat
This report presents a condensed summary on foundations of gauge theory and its application to mecanics. In particular, we will see how the involved mathematical concepts allow to describe the reorientation of a free falling cat in a coordinate free (and nearly calculation free) manner.
متن کاملThe Optimal Momentum Map
The presence of symmetries in a Hamiltonian system usually implies the existence of conservation laws that are represented mathematically in terms of the dynamical preservation of the level sets of a momentum mapping. The symplectic or Marsden–Weinstein reduction procedure takes advantage of this and associates to the original system a new Hamiltonian system with fewer degrees of freedom. Howev...
متن کاملCat-Map: putting cataract on the map
Lens opacities, or cataract(s), may be inherited as a classic Mendelian disorder usually with early-onset or, more commonly, acquired with age as a multi-factorial or complex trait. Many genetic forms of cataract have been described in mice and other animal models. Considerable progress has been made in mapping and identifying the genes and mutations responsible for inherited forms of cataract,...
متن کاملThe visual claustrum of the cat. I. Structure and connections.
The cat's dorsocaudal claustrum was studied in Golgi preparations, by electron microscopy, and by anterograde and retrograde tracer techniques. It receives a convergent retinotopic projection from several visual cortical ares, including areas 17, 18, 19, 21a and PMLS (posteromedial lateral suprasylvian area). The projection arises from spiny dendrite cells (pyramidal and fusiform) in the middle...
متن کاملThe Momentum Map in Poisson Geometry
Every action on a Poisson manifold by Poisson diffeomorphisms lifts to a Hamiltonian action on its symplectic groupoid which has a canonically defined momentum map. We study various properties of this momentum map as well as its use in reduction.
