New closed Newton–Cotes type formulae as multilayer symplectic integrators

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce new integrators of Newton–Cotes type and investigate the connection between these new methods, differential methods, and symplectic integrators. From the literature, we can see that several one step symplectic integrators have been obtained based on symplectic geometry. However, the investigation of multistep symplectic integrators is very poor. In this paper, we introduce a new numerical method of closed Newton–Cotes type and we write it as a symplectic multilayer structure. We apply the symplectic schemes in order to solve Hamilton’s equations of motion which are linear in position and momentum. We observe that the Hamiltonian energy of the system remains almost constant as integration proceeds.

Integrable Fredholm Operators and Dual Isomonodromic Deformations

Abstract: The Fredholm determinants of a special class of integral operators K supported on the union of m curve segments in the complex plane are shown to be the tau-functions of an isomonodromic family of meromorphic covariant derivative operators D_l. These have regular singular points at the 2m endpoints of the curve segments and a singular point of Poincare index 1 at infinity. The rank r of the vector bundle over the Riemann sphere on which they act equals the number of distinct terms in the exponential sums entering in the numerator of the integral kernels. The deformation equations may be viewed as nonautonomous Hamiltonian systems on an auxiliary symplectic vector space M, whose Poisson quotient, under a parametric family of Hamiltonian group actions, is identified with a Poisson submanifold of the loop algebra Lgl_R(r) with respect to the rational R-matrix structure. The matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem method is used to identify the auxiliary space M with the data defining the integral kernel of the resolvent operator at the endpoints of the curve segments. A second associated isomonodromic family of covariant derivative operators D_z is derived, having rank n=2m, and r finite regular singular points at the values of the exponents defining the kernel of K. This family is similarly embedded into the algebra Lgl_R(n) through a dual parametric family of Poisson quotients of M. The operators D_z are shown to be analogously associated to the integral operator obtained from K through a Fourier-Laplace transform.

A note on symplectic singularities

Abstract: In this paper we shall prove that the singular locus of a symplectic singularity has no codimension 3 irreducible components. As a corollary, a symplectic singularity is terminal if and only if its singular locus has codimension $\geq 4$. It is hoped that a symplectic singularity has much stronger properties.

Symplectic or contact structures on Lie groups

Abstract: We study left invariant contact forms and left invariant symplectic forms on Lie groups. In the case of filiform Lie groups we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a left invariant contact form and we prove the uniqueness of this contact form up to a nonzero scalar multiple. As an application we classify all symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension ⩽6.
