THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 26th of January 2017, at 10:15 a.m.

Javier de Lucas Araujo (KMMF WFUW)

will give a talk on

"Geometric structures and Lie systems: toward the multisymplectic case"

Abstract
This talk is aimed at presenting an on-going research on Lie systems possessing Vessiot—Guldberg Lie algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields relative to different types of geometric structures, e.g., Poisson, k-symplectic, and multisymplectic structures. As a main novelty, I will focus upon the case of multisymplectic structures, namely non-degenerate and closed k-forms. I will present some techniques for constructing such Lie systems, and I will study a reduction process for them. This suggests us to use a quite general type of multisymplectic momentum map and a multisymplectic reduction procedure for multisymplectic volume forms. Results will be illustrated with examples of physical and mathematical interest.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
