The EPDiff equation (or dispersionless Camassa-Holm equation in 1D) is a well known example of geodesic motion on the Diff group of smooth invertible maps (diffeomorphisms). Its recent two-component extension governs geodesic motion on the semidirect product ${rm Diff}circledS{cal F}$, where $mathcal{F}$ denotes the space of scalar functions. This paper generalizes the second construction to consider geodesic motion on ${rm Diff} circledSmathfrak{g}$, where $mathfrak{g}$ denotes the space of scalar functions that take values on a certain Lie algebra (for example, $mathfrak{g}=mathcal{F}otimesmathfrak{so}(3)$). Measure-valued delta-like solutions are shown to be momentum maps possessing a dual pair structure, thereby extending previous results for the EPDiff equation. The collective Hamiltonians are shown to fit into the Kaluza-Klein theory of particles in a Yang-Mills field and these formulations are shown to apply also at the continuum PDE level. In the continuum description, the Kaluza-Klein approach produces the Kelvin circulation theorem.

This work is devoted to the study of Bessel and Riesz systems of the type $big{L_{gamma}mathsf{f}big}_{gammain Gamma}$ obtained from the action of the left regular representation $L_{gamma}$ of a discrete non abelian group $Gamma$ which is a semidirect product, on a function $mathsf{f}in ell^2(Gamma)$. The main features about these systems can be conveniently studied by means of a simple matrix-valued function $mathbf{F}(xi)$. These systems allow to derive sampling results in principal $Gamma$-invariant spaces, i.e., spaces obtained from the action of the group $Gamma$ on a element of a Hilbert space. Since the systems $big{L_{gamma}mathsf{f}big}_{gammain Gamma}$ are closely related to convolution operators, a connection with $C^*$-algebras is also established.
We consider the geodesic motion on the symmetric moduli spaces that arise after timelike and spacelike reductions of supergravity theories. The geodesics correspond to timelike respectively spacelike $p$-brane solutions when they are lifted over a $p$-dimensional flat space. In particular, we consider the problem of constructing emph{the minimal generating solution}: A geodesic with the minimal number of free parameters such that all other geodesics are generated through isometries. We give an intrinsic characterization of this solution in a wide class of orbits for various supergravities in different dimensions. We apply our method to three cases: (i) Einstein vacuum solutions, (ii) extreme and non-extreme D=4 black holes in N=8 supergravity and their relation to N=2 STU black holes and (iii) Euclidean wormholes in $Dgeq 3$. In case (iii) we present an easy and general criterium for the existence of regular wormholes for a given scalar coset.
In this paper we investigate geodesic completeness of left-invariant Lorentzian metrics on a simple Lie group $G$ when there exists a left-invariant Killing vector field $Z$ on $G$. Among other results, it is proved that if $Z$ is timelike, or $G$ is strongly causal and $Z$ is lightlike, then the metric is complete. We then consider the special complex Lie group $SL_2(mathbb{C})$ in more details and show that the existence of a lightlike vector field $Z$ on it, implies geodesic completeness. We also consider the existence of a spacelike vector field $Z$ on $SL_2(mathbb{C})$ and provide an equivalent condition for the metric to be complete. This illustrates the complexity of the situation when $Z$ is spacelike.
We provide a construction of the two-component Camassa-Holm (CH-2) hierarchy employing a new zero-curvature formalism and identify and describe in detail the isospectral set associated to all real-valued, smooth, and bounded algebro-geometric solutions of the $n$th equation of the stationary CH-2 hierarchy as the real $n$-dimensional torus $mathbb{T}^n$. We employ Dubrovin-type equations for auxiliary divisors and certain aspects of direct and inverse spectral theory for self-adjoint singular Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we employ Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for singular (canonical) Hamiltonian systems. While we focus primarily on the case of stationary algebro-geometric CH-2 solutions, we note that the time-dependent case subordinates to the stationary one with respect to isospectral torus questions.
Here we carry out computations that help clarify the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structure of compressible flow. The intent is to be pedagogical and rigorous, providing concrete examples of the theory outlined in Holm, Marsden, and Ratiu [1998] and Marsden, Ratiu, and Weinstein [1984].
