Lie algebroid structures and Lagrangian systems on affine bundles
نویسنده
چکیده
As a continuation of previous papers, we study the concept of a Lie algebroid structure on an affine bundle by means of the canonical immersion of the affine bundle into its bidual. We pay particular attention to the prolongation and various lifting procedures, and to the geometrical construction of Lagrangian-type dynamics on an affine Lie algebroid.

Lie algebroid structures on a class of affine bundles
We introduce the notion of a Lie algebroid structure on an affine bundle whose base manifold is fibred over IR. It is argued that this is the framework which one needs for coming to a time-dependent generalization of the theory of Lagrangian systems on Lie algebroids. An extensive discussion is given of a way one can think of forms acting on sections of the affine bundle. It is further shown th...
متن کاملAV-differential geometry: Poisson and Jacobi structures
Based on ideas of W. M. Tulczyjew, a geometric framework for a frame-independent formulation of different problems in analytical mechanics is developed. In this approach affine bundles replace vector bundles of the standard description and functions are replaced by sections of certain affine line bundles called AV-bundles. Categorial constructions for affine and special affine bundles as well a...
متن کاملLagrangian equations on affine Lie algebroids
We recall the concept of a Lie algebroid on a vector bundle and the associated notion of Lagrange-type equations. A heuristic calculus of variations approach tells us what a time-dependent generalization of such equations should look like. In order to find a geometrical model for such a generalization, the idea of a Lie algebroid structure on a class of affine bundles is introduced. We develop ...
متن کاملO ct 2 00 5 Frame - independent mechanics : geometry on affine bundles 1
Main ideas of the differential geometry on affine bundles are presented. Affine counterparts of Lie algebroid and Poisson structures are introduced and discussed. The developed concepts are applied in a frame-independent formulation of the time-dependent and the Newtonian mechanics. MSC (2000): 37J05, 53A40, 53D99, 55R10, 70H99.
