Given a finite order Lagrangian L on a fibre bundle, its global generalized symmetries depending on higher order derivatives of dynamic variables are considered. The first variational formula is obtained. It leads both to the corresponding Lagarngian conservation laws and the characteristic equation for generalized symmetries of L.
Given a first order dynamical system possessing a commutative algebra of dynamical symmetries, we show that, under certain conditions, there exists a Poisson structure on an open neighbourhood of its regular (not necessarily compact) invariant manifold which makes this dynamical system into a partially integrable Hamiltonian system. This Poisson structure is by no means unique. Bi-Hamiltonian partially integrable systems are described in some detail. As an outcome, we state the conditions of quasi-periodic stability (the KAM theorem) for partially integrable Hamiltonian systems.
We provide a symplectic reduction of a partially integrable Hamiltonian system to a completely integrable one. The KAM theorem is applied to this reduced completely integrable Hamiltonian system. Its KAM perturbation generates a perturbation of the original partially integrable system such that the set of tori kept by this perturbation is large.
We provide geometric quantization of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system in the action-angle variables around an invariant torus with respect to polarization spanned by almost-Hamiltonian vector fields of angle variables. The associated quantum algebra consists of functions affine in action coordinates. We obtain a set of its nonequivalent representations in the separable pre-Hilbert space of smooth complex functions on the torus where action operators and a Hamiltonian are diagonal and have countable spectra.
A time-dependent completely integrable Hamiltonian system is proved to admit the action-angle coordinates around any regular instantly compact invariant manifold. Written relative to these coordinates, its Hamiltonian and first integrals are functions only of action coordinates.
Completely integrable Hamiltonian systems look promising for controllability since their first integrals are stable under an internal evolution, and one may hope to find a perturbation of a Hamiltonian which drives the first integrals at will. Action-angle coordinates are most convenient for this purpose. Written with respect to these coordinates, a Hamiltonian and first integrals depend only on the action ones. We introduce a suitable perturbation of a Hamiltonian by a term containing time-dependent parameters so that an evolution of action variables is nothing else than a displacement along a curve in a parameter space. Therefore, one can define this evolution in full by an appropriate choice of parameter functions. Similar holonomy controllability of finite level quantum systems is of special interes in connection with quantum computation. We provide geometric quantization of a time-dependent completely integrable Hamiltonian system in action-angle variables. Its Hamiltonian and first integrals have time-independent countable spectra. The holonomy control operator in this countable level quantum system is constructed.
We show that Jacobi fields of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system of m degrees of freedom also make up a completely integrable system. They provide m additional first integrals which characterize a relative motion.
Quantum systems with adiabatic classical parameters are widely studied, e.g., in the modern holonomic quantum computation. We here provide complete geometric quantization of a Hamiltonian system with time-dependent parameters, without the adiabatic assumption. A Hamiltonian of such a system is affine in the temporal derivative of parameter functions. This leads to the geometric Berry factor phenomena.
We show that non-relativistic and relativistic mechanical systems on a configuration space Q can be seen as the conservative Dirac constraint systems with zero Hamiltonians on different subbundles of the same cotangent bundle T^*Q. The geometric quantization of this cotangent bundle under the vertical polarization leads to compatible covariant quantizations of non-relativistic and relativistic Hamiltonian mechanics.
We provide geometric quantization of the vertical cotangent bundle V^*Q equipped with the canonical Poisson structure. This is a momentum phase space of non-relativistic mechanics with the configuration bundle Q -> R. The goal is the Schrodinger representation of V^*Q. We show that this quantization is equivalent to the fibrewise quantization of symplectic fibres of V^*Q -> R, that makes the quantum algebra of non-relativistic mechanics an instantwise algebra. Quantization of the classical evolution equation defines a connection on this instantwise algebra, which provides quantum evolution in non-relativistic mechanics as a parallel transport along time.
Jacobi fields of classical solutions of a Hamiltonian mechanical system are quantized in the framework of vertical-extended Hamiltonian formalism. Quantum Jacobi fields characterize quantum transitions between classical solutions.
The iterated BRST cohomology is studied by computing cohomology of the variational complex on the infinite order jet space of a smooth fibre bundle. This computation also provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the calculus of variations in Lagrangian field theory.
Cohomology of the variational bicomplex in the calculus of variations in classical field theory are computed in the class of exteriror forms of finite jet order. This provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the finite order calculus of variations.
We obtain the cohomology of the variational bicomplex on the infinite order jet space of a smooth fiber bundle in the class of exterior forms of finite jet order. This provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the calculus of variations of finite order on fiber bundles.
De Rham cohomology, $d_V$- and $d_H$-cohomology of the differential algebra of locally pull-back exterior forms on the infinite-order jet manifold of a smooth fibre bundle are calculated.
We show that the cohomology groups of the horizontal (total) differential on horizontal (local) exterior forms on the infinite-order jet manifold of an affine bundle coincide with the De Rham cohomology groups of the base manifold. This prevents one from the topological obstruction to the definition of global descent equations in BRST theory on an arbitrary affine bundle.
We study the obstruction to the exactness of the variational complex for a field theory on an affine bundle.
It is emphasized that equivalent definitions of connections on modules over commutative rings are not so in noncommutative geometry.
