متن کاملDimensional Reduction for Generalized Poisson Brackets
We discuss dimensional reduction for Hamiltonian systems which possess nonconstant Poisson brackets between pairs of coordinates and between pairs of momenta. The associated Jacobi identities imply that the dimensionally reduced brackets are always constant. Some examples are given alongside the general theory.
متن کاملCasimir invariants and the Jacobi identity in Dirac’s theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems
Abstract. We consider constrained Hamiltonian systems in the framework of Dirac’s theory. We show that the Jacobi identity results from imposing that the constraints are Casimir invariants, regardless of the fact that the matrix of Poisson brackets between constraints is invertible or not. We point out that the proof we provide ensures the validity of the Jacobi identity everywhere in phase spa...
متن کاملFamily of Boundary Poisson Brackets
We find a new d-parameter family of ultra-local boundary Poisson brackets that satisfy the Jacobi identity. The two already known cases (hep-th/9305133, hep-th/9806249 and hepth/9901112) of ultra-local boundary Poisson brackets are included in this new continuous family as special cases. PACS number(s): 02.70.Pt, 11.10.Ef.
متن کاملNon-antisymmetric versions of Nambu-Poisson and Lie algebroid brackets
We show that we can skip the skew-symmetry assumption in the definition of Nambu-Poisson brackets. In other words, a n-ary bracket on the algebra of smooth functions which satisfies the Leibniz rule and a n-ary version of the Jacobi identity must be skew-symmetric. A similar result holds for a non-antisymmetric version of Lie algebroids.
