Geometric structures and methods in view of their applications in Mathematical Physics

Geometric structures and methods in view of their applications in Mathematical Physics
Abstract:
V této práci prozkoumáváme různé aspekty Monge-Ampèrových rovnic a s nimi souvisejících geometrií s důrazem na některé z jejich aplikací v teoretické fyzice. Používáme geometrický přístup V. Lychagina a nástroje z kontaktní a symplektické geometrie ke studiu variačních problémů týkajících se Plebanského první a druhé "nebeské" rovnice, Grantovy, Husainovy a Klein-Gordonovy rovnice. Zkoumáme vlastnosti …more
Abstract:
We explore various aspects of Monge-Ampère equations and their associated geometries, with a focus on some of their applications in theoretical physics. We use V. Lychagin's geometric approach and employ tools from contact and symplectic geometry to study the variational problems related to the first and second Plebanski "heavenly" equations, Grant and Husain equations, and the Klein-Gordon equation …more
