TLDR
The equations of dynamics were put into a general form by Lagrange, who expressed them in terms of a set of generalized coordinates and velocities as discussed by the authors, and an alternative general form was later given by Hamilton, in the form of coordinates and momenta.
Abstract
1. Introduction. The equations of dynamics were put into a general form by Lagrange, who expressed them in terms of a set of generalized coordinates and velocities. An alternative general form was later given by Hamilton, in terms of coordinates and momenta. Let us consider the relative merits of the two forms.

Manifest Covariant Hamiltonian Theory of General Relativity

TL;DR: In this paper, a manifest covariant Hamiltonian theory of General Relativity in the presence of source variables is proposed, based on a synchronous variational principle for the Einstein equation, formulated in terms of superabundant variables.

BV-BFV approach to General Relativity: Palatini-Cartan-Holst action

TL;DR: In this article, the Palatini-Cartan-Holst formulation of General Relativity in tetrad variables is complemented with additional requirements on the fields when boundaries are taken into account for the associated BV theory.

Geometry of the physical phase space in quantum gauge models

TL;DR: In this article, the effects caused by non-Euclidean geometry of the physical phase space in quantum gauge models are described in the operator and path integral formalisms, and applications to the Kogut-Susskind lattice gauge theory are given.

Analysis of constrained theories without use of primary constraints

TL;DR: In this article, the Dirac approach to Hamiltonization of singular theories can be slightly modified in such a way that primary Dirac constraints do not appear in the process, and the modified scheme, Hamiltonian formulation of singular theory is first order Lagrangian formulation, further rewritten in special coordinates.

Forms of Relativistic Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the restricted principle of relativity with the hamiltonian formulation of dynamics, which leads to the appearance of ten fundamental quantities for each dynamical system, namely the total energy, the total momentum and the 6-vector which has three components equal to the total angular momentum.

Homogeneous variables in classical dynamics

TL;DR: The well-known methods of classical mechanics, based on the use of a Lagrangian or Hamiltonian function, are adequate for the treatment of nearly all dynamical systems met with in practice.
