Symmetry aspects of nonholonomic field theories

The Momentum Map for Nonholonomic Field Theories with Symmetry

We introduce a suitable generalization of the momentum map for nonholonomic field theories and prove a covariant form of the nonholonomic momentum equation. We show that these covariant objects coincide with their counterparts in mechanics by making the transition to the Cauchy formalism.

Clifford–Finsler Algebroids and Nonholonomic Einstein–Dirac Structures

We propose a new framework for constructing geometric and physical models on nonholonomic manifolds provided both with Clifford – Lie algebroid symmetry and nonlinear connection structure. Explicit parametrizations of generic off–diagonal metrics and linear and nonlinear connections define different types of Finsler, Lagrange and/or Riemann–Cartan spaces. A generalization to spinor fields and D...

Geometric Mechanics, Lagrangian Reduction, and Nonholonomic Systems

This paper surveys selected recent progress in geometric mechanics, focussing on Lagrangian reduction and gives some new applications to nonholonomic systems, that is, mechanical systems with constraints typified by rolling without slipping. Reduction theory for mechanical systems with symmetry has its roots in the classical works in mechanics of Euler, Jacobi, Lagrange, Hamilton, Routh, Poinca...

Geometry of Invariant Tori of Certain Integrable Systems with Symmetry and an Application to a Nonholonomic System

Bifibrations, in symplectic geometry called also dual pairs, play a relevant role in the theory of superintegrable Hamiltonian systems. We prove the existence of an analogous bifibrated geometry in dynamical systems with a symmetry group such that the reduced dynamics is periodic. The integrability of such systems has been proven by M. Field and J. Hermans with a reconstruction technique. We ap...
