The underlying goal of this Master's thesis is of laying down, in so far as possible, the foundations for later work in Geometric Stochastic Mechanics. The first part is a presentation of symplectic reduction, going through the momentum map and culminating ...
The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structures for an ideal gauge-charged fluid are determined. Using a Kaluza-Klein point of view, the equations of motion are obtained by Lagrangian and Poisson reductions associated to the automorphism group of a principal bun ...
The notions of Poisson Lie group and Poisson homogeneous space are extended to the Dirac category. The theorem of Drinfeld on the one-to-one correspondence between Poisson homogeneous spaces of a Poisson Lie group and a special class of Lagrangian subalgeb ...
We formulate Euler-Poincare and Lagrange-Poincare equations for systems with broken symmetry. We specialize the general theory to present explicit equations of motion for nematic systems, ranging from single nematic molecules to biaxial liquid crystals. Th ...
The goal of this paper is to derive the Hamiltonian structure of polarized and magnetized Euler-Maxwell fluids by reduction of the canonical symplectic form on phase space, and to generalize the dynamics to the nonabelian case. The Hamiltonian function we ...
For a given skew symmetric real n x n matrix N, the bracket X, Y = XNY - YNX defines a Lie algebra structure on the space Sym(n, N) of symmetric n x n real matrices and hence a corresponding Lie-Poisson structure. The purpose of this paper is to inves ...
This paper develops the theory of affine Euler-Poincare and affine Lie-Poisson reductions and applies these processes to various examples of complex fluids, including Yang-Mills and Hall magnetohydrodynamics for fluids and superfluids, spin glasses, microf ...
This paper develops the theory of affine Lie-Poisson reduction and applies this process to Yang-Mills and Hall magnetohydrodynamics for fluids and superfluids. As a consequence of this approach, the associated Poisson brackets are obtained by reduction of ...
The problem treated here is to find the Hamiltonian structure for an ideal gauge-charged fluid. Using a Kaluza-Klein point of view, we obtain the non-canonical Poisson bracket and the motion equations by a Poisson reduction involving the automorphism group ...

The equations of motion are derived for the dynamical folding of charged molecular strands (such as DNA) modeled as flexible continuous filamentary distributions of interacting rigid charge conformations. The new feature is that these equations are nonloca ...
