Convenient Partial Poisson Manifolds

We introduce the concept of partial Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modelled on a convenient space. This is done by specifying a (weak) subbundle $T^{\prime}M$ of $T^{\ast}M$ and an antisymmetric morphism $P:T^{\prime}M\rightarrow TM$ such that the bracket $\{f,g\}_{P}=- $ defines a Poisson bracket on the algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of smooth functions $f$ on $M$ whose differential $df$ induces a section of $T^{\prime}M$. In particular, to each such function $f\in\mathcal{A}$ is associated a hamiltonian vector field $P(df)$. This notion takes naturally place in the framework of infinite dimensional weak symplectic manifolds and Lie algebroids. After having defined this concept, we will illustrate it by a lot of natural examples. We will also consider the particular situations of direct (resp. projective) limits of such Banach structures. Finally, we will also give some results on the existence of (weak) symplectic foliations naturally associated to some particular partial Poisson structures.

On Darboux Theorem for symplectic forms on direct limits of symplectic Banach manifolds

Given an ascending sequence of weak symplectic Banach manifolds on which the Darboux theorem is true, we can ask about conditions under which the Darboux Theorem is also true on the direct limit. We will show in general, without very strong conditions, the answer is negative. In particular we give an example of an ascending weak symplectic Banach manifolds on which the Darboux Theorem is true but not on the direct limit. In a second part, we illustrate this discussion in the context of an ascending sequences of Sobolev manifolds of loops in symplectic finite dimensional manifolds. This context gives rise to an example of direct limit of weak symplectic Banach manifolds on which the Darboux theorem is true around any point.

Geometrical structures on the prolongation of a pre-Lie algebroid on fibered manifolds and application to Partial Finsler geometry on foliated anchored bundle

A pre-Lie algebroid is an anchored bundle provided with an almost Lie bracket such that the anchor is compatible with the Lie bracket of vector fields. We firstly show how most geometrical structures intensively studied in the framework of Lie algebroid can easily be extended in the pre-Lie algebroid context. The principal purpose of this paper is to show that how all these results only depend of the foliated structure and do not depend of the pre-Lie algebroid structure that we can put on a foliated anchored bundle. As application, we obtain a Finsler connection on a foliated anchored bundle which induces the classical Finsler connection on each leaf and a similar result for the Chern connection.

On finsler entropy of smooth distributions and Stefan-Sussman foliations

Using the definition of entropy of a family of increasing distances on a compact metric set given in [10] we introduce a notion of Finsler entropy for smooth distributions and Stefan-Sussmann foliations. This concept generalizes most of classical topological entropy on a compact Riemannian manifold : the entropy of a flow ([9]), of a regular foliation ([11]), of a regular distribution ([5]) and of a geometrical structure ([22]). The essential results of this paper is the nullity of the Finsler entropy for a controllable distribution and for a singular Riemannian foliation.

Möbius transformations and the configuration space of a Hilbert snake

The purpose of this paper is to give a simpler proof to the problem of controllability of a Hilbert snake \cite{PeSa}. Using the action of the Möbius group of the unit sphere on the configuration space, in the context of a separable Hilbert space. We give a generalization of the Theorem of accessibility contained in \cite{Ha} and \cite{Ro} for articulated arms and snakes in a finite dimensional Hilbert space

Articulated arm and special multi-flags (corrected version)

In this paper we give a kinematical illustration of some distributions called special multi-flags distributions. Precisely we define the kinematic model in angular coordinates of an articulated arm constituted of a series of (n + 1) segments in Rk+1 and construct the special multi-flag distribution associated to this model.
