This paper is concerned with basic geometric properties of the phase space of a classical general relativistic particle, regarded as the 1st jet space of motions, i.e. as the 1st jet space of timelike 1-dimensional submanifolds of spacetime. This setting allows us to skip constraints. Our main goal is to determine the geometric conditions by which the Lorentz metric and a connection of the phase space yield contact and Jacobi structures. In particular, we specialize these conditions to the cases when the connection of the phase space is generated by the metric and an additional tensor. Indeed, the case generated by the metric and the electromagnetic field is included, as well.

The phase space of general relativistic test particle is defined as the 1-jet space of motions. A Lorentzian metric and an electromagnetic field define the joined almost-cosymplectic-contact structure on the odd-dimensional phase space. In this paper, we study infinitesimal symmetries (ISs) of this phase structure. We prove that there are no hidden ISs.

A model of a relativistic particle with curvature interacting with an external electromagnetic field in a “minimal way” is investigated. The generalized Hamiltonian formalism for this model is constructed. A complete set of the constraints in the phase space is obtained and then divided into first- and second-class constraints. On this basis the canonical quantization of the model is considered. A wave equation in the operator form, resembling the Dirac equation in an external electromagnetic field, is obtained. The massless version of this model is briefly discussed.

While the importance of phase space constraints for gravitational clustering of neutrinos (which are fermions) is well recognized, the explicit use of such constraints to limit neutrino emission from ultra energetic sources has not been stressed. Special and general relativistic phase space constraints are shown to limit neutrino luminosities in compact sources in various situations.

In this review, we give a basic introduction to the κ-deformed relativistic phase space and free quantum fields. After a review of the κ-Poincaré algebra, we illustrate the construction of the κ-deformed phase space of a classical relativistic particle using the tools of Lie bi-algebras and Poisson–Lie groups. We then discuss how to construct a free scalar field theory on the non-commutative κ-Minkowski space associated to the κ-Poincaré and illustrate how the group valued nature of momenta affects the field propagation.

The classical phase space of general relativistic classical test particle (here called, for short, "phase space") is defined as the first jet space of motions regarded as timelike one-dimensional submanifolds of spacetime. By the projectability assumption, we define the subsheaf of special phase functions with a special Lie bracket and we compare the Lie algebra of special phase functions with the structures obtained on the phase space by the standard Hamiltonian approach.

This short note is an attempt to bring out the geometric structures in the linking theory of shape dynamics. Symplectic induction is applied to give a natural construction of the extended phase space used in the linking theory as a trivial vector bundle over the original phase space for canonical gravity. The geometry of the gauge fixing for shape dynamics is analyzed with the assistance of the Lichnerowicz–York equation lifted to the extended phase space. An alternative description is provided to show how the same geometry simply derives from symplectic induction.

Abstract We consider the general model of an accelerating, expanding and shearing radiating star in the presence of charge. Using a new set of variables arising from the Lie symmetries of differential equations we transform the boundary equation into ordinary differential equations. We present several new exact models for a charged gravitating sphere. A particular family of solution may be interpreted as a generalised Euclidean star in the presence of the electromagnetic field. This family admits a linear barotropic equation of state. In the uncharged limit, we regain general relativistic stellar models where proper and areal radii are equal, and its generalisations. Our group theoretical approach selects the physically important cases of Euclidean stars and equations of state.
