Classical Chern–Simons Mechanics
2001
We are interested in a completely integrable Hamiltonian system \((\mathscr{M}_{2N},\omega,H).\) Local coordinates on the 2N-dimensional phase space \(\mathscr{M}_{2N}\) are denoted by η a = (p, q), a = 1, 2, … 2N and the symplectic 2-form ω is given by
Regular k-Surfaces
2012
Roughly speaking, a regular surface in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) is a two-dimensional set of points, in the sense that it can be locally described by two parameters (the local coordinates) and with the property that it is smooth enough (that is, there are no vertices, edges, or self-intersections) to guarantee the existence of a tangent plane to the surface at each point.
