A geometric approach to contact Hamiltonians and contact Hamilton–Jacobi theory

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a novel approach to contact Hamiltonian mechanics which, in contrast to the
one dominating in the literature, serves also for non-trivial contact structures. In this …

A review on coisotropic reduction in symplectic, cosympletic, contact and co-contact Hamiltonian systems

M de León, R Izquierdo - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we study coisotropic reduction in different types of dynamics according to the
geometry of the corresponding phase space. The relevance of coisotropic reduction is …

Thermodynamic entropy as a Noether invariant from contact geometry

A Bravetti, MÁ García-Ariza, D Tapias - Entropy, 2023 - mdpi.com
We use a formulation of Noether's theorem for contact Hamiltonian systems to derive a
relation between the thermodynamic entropy and the Noether invariant associated with time …

Symmetries, Conservation and Dissipation in Time‐Dependent Contact Systems

J Gaset, A López‐Gordón, X Rivas - Fortschritte der Physik, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
In contact Hamiltonian systems, the so‐called dissipated quantities are akin to conserved
quantities in classical Hamiltonian systems. In this article, a Noether's theorem for non …

Multicontact formulation for non-conservative field theories

M de León, J Gaset, MC Muñoz-Lecanda… - Journal of Physics A …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A new geometric structure inspired by multisymplectic and contact geometries, which we call
multicontact structure, is developed to describe non-conservative classical field theories …

[HTML][HTML] Hamilton–Jacobi theory and integrability for autonomous and non-autonomous contact systems

M de León, M Lainz, A López-Gordón… - Journal of Geometry and …, 2023 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study the integrability of contact Hamiltonian systems, both time-dependent
and independent. In order to do so, we construct a Hamilton–Jacobi theory for these systems …

Nonautonomous k-contact field theories

X Rivas - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
This paper provides a new geometric framework to describe non-conservative field theories
with explicit dependence on the space–time coordinates by combining the k-cosymplectic …

Reductions: precontact versus presymplectic

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata (1923 …, 2023 - Springer
We show that contact reductions can be described in terms of symplectic reductions in the
traditional Marsden–Weinstein–Meyer as well as the constant rank picture. The point is that …

Contact Lie systems: theory and applications

J de Lucas, X Rivas - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A Lie system is a time-dependent system of differential equations describing the integral
curves of a time-dependent vector field that can be considered as a curve in a finite …

Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formalism for cocontact systems

X Rivas, D Torres - 2023 - reunir.unir.net
In this paper we present a unified Lagrangian–Hamiltonian geometric formalism to describe
time-dependent contact mechanical systems, based on the one first introduced by K …
