On Product Lie Algebroids, and Collective Motion
Abstract
This work explores the geometrical/algebraic framework of Lie algebroids, with a specific focus on the decoupling and coupling phenomena within the bicocycle double cross product realization. The bicocycle double cross product theory serves as the most general method for (de)coupling an algebroid into the direct sum of two vector bundles in the presence of mutual \textit{representations}, along with two twisted cocycle terms. Consequently, it encompasses unified product, double cross product (matched pairs), semi-direct product, and cocycle extension frameworks as particular instances. In addition to algebraic constructions, the research extends to both reversible and irreversible Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics on (de)coupled Lie algebroids, as well as Euler-Poincar\'{e}-(Herglotz) and Lie-Poisson-(Herglotz) dynamics on (de)coupled Lie algebras, providing insights into potential physical applications.
