    Nilpotent classical mechanics: s-geometry

    Full text link
    We introduce specific type of hyperbolic spaces. It is not a general linear covariant object, but of use in constructing nilpotent systems. In the present work necessary definitions and relevant properties of configuration and phase spaces are indicated. As a working example we use a D=2 isotropic harmonic oscillator.Comment: 8 pages, presented at QGIS, June 2006, Pragu

    Nilpotent Classical Mechanics

    Full text link
    The formalism of nilpotent mechanics is introduced in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian form. Systems are described using nilpotent, commuting coordinates η\eta. Necessary geometrical notions and elements of generalized differential η\eta-calculus are introduced. The so called ss-geometry, in a special case when it is orthogonally related to a traceless symmetric form, shows some resemblances to the symplectic geometry. As an example of an η\eta-system the nilpotent oscillator is introduced and its supersymmetrization considered. It is shown that the RR-symmetry known for the Graded Superfield Oscillator (GSO) is present also here for the supersymmetric η\eta-system. The generalized Poisson bracket for (η,p)(\eta,p)-variables satisfies modified Leibniz rule and has nontrivial Jacobiator.Comment: 23 pages, no figures. Corrected version. 2 references adde
