Infinitesimal symmetries in contact Hamiltonian systems

open access: yes, 2021
In this paper, we extend the well-known Noether theorem for Lagrangian systems to contact Lagrangian systems. We introduce a classification of infinitesimal symmetries and obtain the corresponding dissipated quantities. We notice that in contact dynamics,

H-contact semi-Riemannian manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We characterize H-contact semi-Riemannian manifolds (i.e., contact semi-Riemannian manifolds whose Reeb vector field ξ is harmonic) by the condition that ξ is a Ricci eigenvector. We then investigate how H-contact semi-Riemannian manifolds are related to

Infinitesimal Time Reparametrisation and Its Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
A geometric approach to Sundman infinitesimal time-reparametrisation is given and some of its applications are used to illustrate the general theory. Special emphasis is put on geodesic motions and systems described by mechanical type Lagrangians.

On Lie algebras of generators of infinitesimal symmetries of almost-cosymplectic-contact structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
summary:We study Lie algebras of generators of infinitesimal symmetries of almost-cosymplectic-contact structures of odd dimensional manifolds. The almost-cosymplectic-contact structure admits on the sheaf of pairs of 1-forms and functions the structure ...

Infinitesimal contact transformations and their applications to abstract growth patterns [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly of Applied Mathematics, 1980
Several abstract mathematical models of two-dimensional objects or “organisms” are introduced. The objects are abstractions, created by the combination of pattern-theoretic generators. They are deformed by what are shown to be infinitesimal contact transformations.

From infinitesimal harmonic transformations to Ricci solitons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
summary:The concept of the Ricci soliton was introduced by R. S. Hamilton. The Ricci soliton is defined by a vector field and it is a natural generalization of the Einstein metric.

Conformal Classification of (k, μ)-Contact Manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
First we improve a result of Tanno that says If a conformal vector field on a contact metric manifold M is a strictly infinitesimal contact transformation, then it is an infinitesimal automorphism of M by waiving the strictness in the hypothesis ...

On derivative-dependent infinitesimal deformations of differentiable maps

open access: yes, 1980
We study, by means of flows in jet bundles, infinitesimal deformations of germs of b∞ maps ƒ:Rn→Rm that depend on a finite number of derivatives of these maps.

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...
