Phase-Space Metric for Non-Hamiltonian Systems

We consider an invariant skew-symmetric phase-space metric for non-Hamiltonian systems. We say that the metric is an invariant if the metric tensor field is an integral of motion. We derive the time-dependent skew-symmetric phase-space metric that satisfies the Jacobi identity. The example of non-Hamiltonian systems with linear friction term is considered.Comment: 12 page

Weight function for the quantum affine algebra Uq(A2(2))U_q(A_2^{(2)})

In this article, we give an explicit formula for the universal weight function of the quantum twisted affine algebra $U_q(A_2^{(2)})$. The calculations use the technique of projecting products of Drinfeld currents onto the intersection of Borel subalgebras of different types.Comment: 25 page
