Differential geometric methods (tensors, connections, symplectic, Poisson, contact, Riemannian, nonholonomic, etc.) for problems in mechanics (70G45) Lagrangian formalism and Hamiltonian formalism in mechanics of particles and systems (70S05) Symmetries and conservation laws in mechanics of particles and systems (70S10)

Abstract: The properties of Lagrangians affine in velocities are analyzed in a geometric way. These systems are necessarily singular and exhibit, in general, gauge invariance. The analysis of constraint functions and gauge symmetry leads us to a complete classification of such Lagrangians.
