Abstract:
Contact Hamiltonian systems are of different nature of symplectic Hamiltonian dynamics. Indeed, in the contact case we obtain dissipative quantities instead of conservative ones. I will present a survey on several geometric structures and how its choice implies dissipation or conservation patterns.
