Contact Dynamics: Legendrian and Lagrangian Submanifolds

Abstract: We are proposing Tulczyjew’s triple for contact dynamics. The most important ingredients of the triple, namely symplectic diffeomorphisms, special symplectic manifolds, and Morse families, are generalized to the contact framework. These geometries permit us to determine so-called generating family (obtained by merging a special contact manifold and a Morse family) for a Legendrian submanifold. Contact Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics are recast as Legendrian submanifolds of the tangent contact manifold. In … Show more

“…This is achieved in the realm of locally conformal cosymplectic manifolds. The symplectization and different geometric frameworks, as it is the case of time-dependent dynamics in [20], kcosymplectic framework in [66] and recently, on contact manifolds [36]. We wish to construct Tulczyjew triples for LCS and LCC manifolds.…”

“…Unlike Hamiltonian mechanics, where the Hamiltonian vector field is the only geometrically distinguished vector field on the cotangent bundle, contact geometry admits two alternatives. In the preceding Section, we have recalled the contact Hamiltonian vector field X H , while in the current Section we discuss the evolution Hamiltonian vector field ε H [29,76,77], determined through the following equalities,…”

“…Consider a (2n + 1)−dimensional contact manifold equipped with a contact one-form η. A maximally integrable submanifold of the contact manifold where the contact form vanishes is called Legendrian submanifold, see, for example, [2,5,29,42]. It is possible to see that a Legendrian submanifold is necessarily of dimension n. In Darboux' coordinates (x, x * , z), consider a partition A ∪ B of the set of indices (1, .…”

“…This is due to the fact that one can use contact structures to describe many different types of dynamical systems which can not be described by means of symplectic geometry and standard Hamiltonian dynamics in a natural way. The dynamical systems which can be modelled using contact structures include mechanical systems with certain types of damping [25,37,46], some systems in quantum mechanics [11], circuit theory [28], control theory [40] and thermodynamics [6,43], among many others [7,16,18,19,21,23,35,45].…”
