Geometry of nonabelian charged fluids
The goal of this paper is to derive the Hamiltonian structure of polarized and magnetized Euler-Maxwell fluids by reduction of the canonical symplectic form on phase space, and to generalize the dynamics to the nonabelian case. The Hamiltonian function we propose in this case, allows us to unify and relate in a simple way the main models of nonabelian charged fluids and their Hamiltonian structures.
