Stochastic Implicit Lagrange-Poincar\'e Reduction

In this paper we consider reduction of the stochastic Hamilton-Pontryagin principle formulated on the Pontryagin bundle of a manifold $Q$. We prove that a stochastic action invariant under the free and proper action of a Lie group $G$ drops to a reduced variational principle expressed in terms of variables of the Pontryagin bundle of the reduced space $Q/G$, the associated adjoint bundle $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}:= (Q\times \mathfrak{g})/G$ and its dual bundle $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}^*$. This provides a stochastic analogue of the deterministic implicit Lagrange-Poincar\'e reduction. The stochastic Euler-Lagrange equations drop to a set of stochastic horizontal and vertical Lagrange-Poincar\'e equations on $T(Q/G)\oplus T^*(Q/G)\oplus\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}\oplus\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}^*$. As examples, we consider stochastic perturbations of the rigid body with a rotor, as well as a Kaluza-Klein description of stochastic perturbations of a charged particle in a magnetic field.

On Stochastic Variational Principles

The study of stochastic variational principles involves the problem of constructing fixed-endpoint and adapted variations of semimartingales. We provide a detailed construction of variations of semimartingales that are not only fixed at deterministic endpoints, but also fixed at first entry times and first exit times for charts in a manifold. We prove a stochastic version of the fundamental lemma of calculus of variations in the context of these variations. Using this framework, we provide a generalization of the stochastic Hamilton-Pontryagin principle in local coordinates to arbitrary noise semimartingales. For the corresponding global form of the stochastic Hamilton-Pontryagin principle, we introduce a novel approach to global variational principles by restricting to semimartingales obtained as solutions of Stratonovich equations.

Moser Regularization of a Stochastically Perturbed Kepler Problem

We consider a stochastic Kepler problem perturbed by a Hamiltonian noise affecting the angular momentum vector. We show that the angular momentum and the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vectors are conserved in magnitude and as a consequence, the distance and speed of the particle follow deterministic dynamics. Further, in a procedure similar to Moser's regularization, we transform the stochastic Kepler problem to obtain its dynamics as a stochastic geodesic flow on a 3-sphere.

Block regularisation of the logarithm central problem

The logarithm function is the gravitational potential in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the logarithm central force problem is block regularizable, that is, the (incomplete) flow may be continuously extended over the singularity at the origin after an appropriate re-parametrization.
