Categories of spans/cospans, relations, or partial maps (18B10) Lagrangian formalism and Hamiltonian formalism in mechanics of particles and systems (70S05)

Abstract: Generalized span categories provide a framework for formalizing mathematical models of open systems in classical mechanics. We introduce categories $mathsfLagSy$ and $mathsfHamSy$ that respectively provide a categorical framework for the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian descriptions of open classical mechanical systems. The morphisms of $mathsfLagSy$ and $mathsfHamSy$ correspond to such open systems, and composition of morphisms models the construction of systems from subsystems. The Legendre transformation gives rise to a functor from $mathsfLagSy$ to $mathsfHamSy$ that translates from the Lagrangian to the Hamiltonian perspective.
