On the space of null geodesics of a spacetime: the compact case, Engel geometry and retrievability
Adrià Marín-Salvador, Roberto Rubio
We compute the contact manifold of null geodesics of the family of spacetimes $\{(\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1, g_\circ-\frac{d^2}{c^2}dt^2)\}_{d,c\in\mathbb{N}^+\text{ coprime}}…

On the Canonical Contact Structure of the Space of Null Geodesics of a Spacetime
Adrià Marín-Salvador
The space of null geodesics of a spacetime carries a canonical contact structure which has proved to be key in the discussion of causality in spacetimes. However, not much progress…

Application of Herglotz's Variational Principle to Electromagnetic Systems with Dissipation
Jordi Gaset, Adrià Marín-Salvador
This work applies the contact formalism of classical mechanics and classical field theory, introduced by Herglotz and later developed in the context of contact geometry, to describ…
