Left-symmetric algebras, or pre-Lie algebras in geometry and physics

Dietrich Burde (2006)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this survey article we discuss the origin, theory and applications of left-symmetric algebras (LSAs in short) in geometry in physics. Recently Connes, Kreimer and Kontsevich have introduced LSAs in mathematical physics (QFT and renormalization theory), where the name pre-Lie algebras is used quite often. Already Cayley wrote about such algebras more than hundred years ago. Indeed, LSAs arise in many different areas of mathematics and physics. We attempt to give a survey of the fields...

An affine framework for analytical mechanics

Paweł Urbański (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

An affine Cartan calculus is developed. The concepts of special affine bundles and special affine duality are introduced. The canonical isomorphisms, fundamental for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of the dynamics in the affine setting are proved.

Affine bijections of C(X,I)

Janko Marovt (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let 𝒳 be a compact Hausdorff space which satisfies the first axiom of countability, I = [0,1] and 𝓒(𝒳,I) the set of all continuous functions from 𝒳 to I. If φ: 𝓒(𝒳,I) → 𝓒(𝒳,I) is a bijective affine map then there exists a homeomorphism μ: 𝒳 → 𝒳 such that for every component C in 𝒳 we have either φ(f)(x) = f(μ(x)), f ∈ 𝓒(𝒳,I), x ∈ C, or φ(f)(x) = 1-f(μ(x)), f ∈ 𝓒(𝒳,I), x ∈ C.

On enveloping semigroups of nilpotent group actions generated by unipotent affine transformations of the torus

Rafał Pikuła (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let G be a group generated by a set of affine unipotent transformations T: X → X of the form T(x) = A x + α, where A is a lower triangular unipotent matrix, α is a constant vector, and X is a finite-dimensional torus. We show that the enveloping semigroup E(X,G) of the dynamical system (X,G) is a nilpotent group and find upper and lower bounds on its nilpotency class. Also, we obtain a description of E(X,G) as a quotient space.
