Retraction maps: a seed of geometric integrators (2106.00607v2)

Published 1 Jun 2021 in math.NA, cs.NA, math-ph, math.MP, and math.SG

Abstract: The classical notion of retraction map used to approximate geodesics is extended and rigorously defined to become a powerful tool to construct geometric integrators and it is called discretization map. Using the geometry of the tangent and cotangent bundles, we are able to tangently and cotangent lift such a map so that these lifts inherit the same properties as the original one and they continue to be discretization maps. In particular, the cotangent lift of a discretization map is a natural symplectomorphism, what plays a key role for constructing geometric integrators and symplectic methods. As a result, a wide range of (higer-order) numerical methods are recovered and canonically constructed by using different discretization maps, as well as some operations with Lagrangian submanifolds.
