Hierarchical structure of noncanonical Hamiltonian systems
Topological constraints play a key role in the self-organizing processes that create structures in macro systems. In fact, if all possible degrees of freedom are actualized on equal footing without constraint, the state of ‘equipartition’ may bear no specific structure. Fluid turbulence is a typical example—while turbulent mixing seems to increase entropy, a variety of sustained vortical struct...
متن کاملA hierarchy of noncanonical Hamiltonian systems
The dynamics of an ideal fluid or plasma is constrained by topological invariants such as the circulation of (canonical) momentum. In the Hamiltonian formalism, topological invariants restrict the orbits to submanifolds of the phase space. While the coadjoint orbits have a natural symplectic structure, the global geometry of the degenerate (constrained) Poisson manifold can be very complex. Som...
متن کاملNoncanonical Hamiltonian Field Theory
Aspects of noncanonical Hamiltonian field theory are reviewed. '·1any systems are Hamiltonian in the sense of possessing Poisson bracket structures, yet the equations are not in canonical form. A particular sys tem of thi s type is cons idered, namely reduced magnetohydrodynamics (RllHD) which was derived for tokamak modelling. The notion of a liePoisson bracket is reviewed; these are special P...
متن کاملA hierarchy of noncanonical Hamiltonian systems: circulation laws in an extended phase space
The dynamics of an ideal fluid or plasma is constrained by topological invariants such as the circulation of (canonical) momentum or, equivalently, the flux of the vorticity or magnetic fields. In the Hamiltonian formalism, topological invariants restrict the orbits to submanifolds of the phase space. While the coadjoint orbits have a natural symplectic structure, the global geometry of the deg...
متن کاملConstruction of Darboux coordinates in noncanonical Hamiltonian systems via normal form expansions
Darboux’s theorem guarantees the existence of local canonical coordinates on symplectic manifolds under certain conditions. We demonstrate a general method to construct such Darboux coordinates in the vicinity of a fixed point of a noncanonical Hamiltonian system via normal form expansions. The procedure serves as a tool to naturally extract canonical coordinates and at the same time to transfo...
