چکیده
In this paper we extend the geometric formalism of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory for hamiltonian mechanics to the case of classical field theories in the framework of multisymplectic geometry and Ehresmann connections.

Geometric Mechanics, Lagrangian Reduction, and Nonholonomic Systems
This paper surveys selected recent progress in geometric mechanics, focussing on Lagrangian reduction and gives some new applications to nonholonomic systems, that is, mechanical systems with constraints typified by rolling without slipping. Reduction theory for mechanical systems with symmetry has its roots in the classical works in mechanics of Euler, Jacobi, Lagrange, Hamilton, Routh, Poinca...
متن کاملDispersionless Hierarchies, Hamilton-Jacobi Theory and Twistor Correspondences
The dispersionless KP and Toda hierarchies possess an underlying twistorial structure. A twistorial approach is partly implemented by the method of RiemannHilbert problem. This is however still short of clarifying geometric ingredients of twistor theory, such as twistor lines and twistor surfaces. A more geometric approach can be developed in a Hamilton-Jacobi formalism of Gibbons and Kodama. A...
متن کاملLinear Almost Poisson Structures and Hamilton-jacobi Theory. Applications to Nonholonomic Mechanics
In this paper, we study the underlying geometry in the classical Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The proposed formalism is also valid for nonholonomic systems. We first introduce the essential geometric ingredients: a vector bundle, a linear almost Poisson structure and a Hamiltonian function, both on the dual bundle (a Hamiltonian system). From them, it is possible to formulate the Hamilton-Jacobi the...
متن کاملConstructing a class of solutions for the Hamilton–Jacobi equation in field theory
A new approach leading to the formulation of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for field theories is investigated within the framework of jet– bundles and multi–symplectic manifolds. An algorithm associating classes of solutions to given sets of boundary conditions of the field equations is provided. The paper also puts into evidence the intrinsic limits of the Hamilton–Jacobi method as an algorithm...
متن کاملCovariant Formulation of Field Theories associated with p-Branes
We discuss the covariant formulation of local field theories described by the Companion Lagrangian associated with p-branes. The covariantisation is shown to be useful for clarifying the geometrical meaning of the field equations and also their relation to the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation of the standard Dirac-Born-Infeld theory.
