The Clifford bundle and the dynamics of the superparticle

Waldyr Rodrigues, Jayme Vaz, Matej Pavsic (1996)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Using the Clifford bundle formalism we show that Frenet equations of classical differential geometry or its spinor version are the appropriate equations of motion for a classical spinning particle. We show that particular values of the curvatures appearing in Darboux bivector of the spinor form of Frenet equations produce a "classical" Dirac-Hestenes equation. Using the concept of multivector Lagrangians and Hamiltonians we provide a Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approach for our theory...

Systems of rays in the presence of distribution of hyperplanes

S. Janeczko (1995)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Horizontal systems of rays arise in the study of integral curves of Hamiltonian systems v H on T*X, which are tangent to a given distribution V of hyperplanes on X. We investigate the local properties of systems of rays for general pairs (H,V) as well as for Hamiltonians H such that the corresponding Hamiltonian vector fields v H are horizontal with respect to V. As an example we explicitly calculate the space of horizontal geodesics and the corresponding systems of rays for the canonical...
