On Dirac structures admitting a variational approach
arXiv:2109.00313 · doi:10.2140/memocs.2023.11.1
Abstract
We discuss the notion of basic cohomology for Dirac structures and, more generally, Lie algebroids. We then use this notion to characterize the obstruction to a variational formulation of Dirac dynamics.
