Variational calculus on Lie algebroids

Eduardo Martínez (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

It is shown that the Lagrange's equations for a Lagrangian system on a Lie algebroid are obtained as the equations for the critical points of the action functional defined on a Banach manifold of curves. The theory of Lagrangian reduction and the relation with the method of Lagrange multipliers are also studied.

Variational characterization of equations of motion in bundles of embeddings.

Hernán Cendra, Ernesto A. Lacomba (1989)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this paper we study variational principles for a general situation which includes free boundary problems with surface tension. Following [2], our main result concerns a variational principle in a infinite dimensional principal bundle of embeddings of a compact region D in a manifold M having the same dimension as D. By considering arbitrary variations, free boundary problems are included, while variations parallel to the boundary permit to consider fluid motion or flow of Hamiltonian vector fields...

Witten's Conjecture for many four-manifolds of simple type

Paul M. N. Feehan, Thomas G. Leness (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that Witten’s Conjecture [40] on the relationship between the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten series for a four-manifold of Seiberg-Witten simple type with b 1 = 0 and odd b 2 + 3 follows from our ( 3 ) -monopole cobordism formula [6] when the four-manifold has c 1 2 χ h - 3 or is abundant.
