Geometric kinetic energy of the harmonic oscillator

i. Overview

The configuration space of the geometric harmonic oscillator is `ConfigurationSpace`. At a configuration `q`, velocities are tangent vectors in `TangentSpace 𝓘(ℝ, EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)) q`.

The oscillator mass determines a Riemannian metric on `ConfigurationSpace`. At each configuration `q`, the metric is the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product on tangent vectors, recorded by `massMetricVal S q`.

The kinetic energy associated with this mass metric is `geometricKineticEnergy S q v = (1 / 2 : ℝ) * S.massRiemannianMetric.inner q v v`. In coordinates this gives the standard expression `(1 / 2 : ℝ) * S.m * ⟪tangentCoord q v, tangentCoord q v⟫_ℝ`.

A. Pointwise mass metric

The pointwise mass metric is the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product in global tangent coordinates. Its positivity, boundedness, and smoothness properties are established here before assembling the Riemannian metric.

B. Riemannian mass metric

The pointwise bilinear forms assemble into a `ContMDiffRiemannianMetric` on the oscillator configuration space.

C. Geometric kinetic energy

The geometric kinetic energy is defined directly from the oscillator's mass Riemannian metric.

D. Coordinate formula

The coordinate identities below recover the usual mass-scaled formula for kinetic energy.

definition

Mass-scaled metric on the tangent space at configuration qq

For a harmonic oscillator SS with mass mm and a point qq in its configuration space, `massMetricVal S q` is the continuous bilinear form on the tangent space TqQT_q Q defined by the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product. For any two tangent vectors v,wTqQv, w \in T_q Q, the metric value is given by: gq(v,w)=mϕq(v),ϕq(w)R g_q(v, w) = m \cdot \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(w) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}} where ϕq\phi_q (represented by `tangentCoord q`) is the identification of the tangent space with the Euclidean model space R1\mathbb{R}^1.

theorem

massMetricVal\text{massMetricVal} equals mass-scaled coordinate inner product

For a harmonic oscillator SS with mass mm and a configuration qq in its configuration space QQ, the mass-scaled Riemannian metric evaluated at two tangent vectors v,wTqQv, w \in T_q Q is equal to the mass mm multiplied by the Euclidean inner product of their coordinate representatives: massMetricVal(S,q,v,w)=mϕq(v),ϕq(w)R \text{massMetricVal}(S, q, v, w) = m \cdot \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(w) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}} where ϕq\phi_q (represented by `tangentCoord q`) is the continuous linear equivalence that identifies the tangent space TqQT_q Q with the Euclidean model space R1\mathbb{R}^1.

theorem

v0    tangentCoordqv0v \neq 0 \implies \text{tangentCoord}_q v \neq 0

Let QQ be the configuration space of a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. For any configuration qQq \in Q and any tangent vector vTqQv \in T_q Q in the tangent space at qq, if v0v \neq 0, then its coordinate representation under the identification tangentCoordq:TqQR1\text{tangentCoord}_q : T_q Q \cong \mathbb{R}^1 is also non-zero, i.e., tangentCoordq(v)0\text{tangentCoord}_q(v) \neq 0.

theorem

Positive Definiteness of the Oscillator Mass Metric gq(v,v)>0g_q(v, v) > 0 for v0v \neq 0

For a harmonic oscillator SS with configuration space QQ, let gqg_q denote the mass-scaled metric (represented by `massMetricVal S q`) on the tangent space TqQT_q Q. For any non-zero tangent vector vTqQv \in T_q Q, the metric evaluated at vv is strictly positive, i.e., gq(v,v)>0g_q(v, v) > 0.

theorem

The unit ball of the mass metric gqg_q is von Neumann bounded

For a harmonic oscillator SS and a configuration point qq, the unit ball in the tangent space TqQT_q Q defined by the mass-scaled metric gqg_q (the set {vTqQgq(v,v)<1}\{v \in T_q Q \mid g_q(v, v) < 1\}) is von Neumann bounded. Here, gqg_q is the continuous bilinear form `massMetricVal S q` determined by the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product.

theorem

The mass metric of the harmonic oscillator is analytic (CωC^\omega)

For a harmonic oscillator SS with configuration space QQ (an analytic manifold modeled on R1\mathbb{R}^1), the mass-scaled metric gqg_q (defined as `massMetricVal S q`) varies analytically with respect to the configuration qq. Specifically, the map qgqq \mapsto g_q, viewed as a section of the bundle of continuous bilinear forms on the tangent spaces TqQT_q Q, is of class CωC^\omega.

definition

Mass Riemannian metric of the harmonic oscillator SS

For a harmonic oscillator SS with mass mm, the mass Riemannian metric is the analytic (CωC^\omega) Riemannian metric on the configuration space QQ. At each point qQq \in Q, the metric provides a symmetric, positive-definite bilinear form on the tangent space TqQT_q Q defined by the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product: gq(v,w)=mϕq(v),ϕq(w)R g_q(v, w) = m \cdot \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(w) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}} where v,wTqQv, w \in T_q Q and ϕq\phi_q is the identification of the tangent space with the 1-dimensional Euclidean model space R1\mathbb{R}^1.

definition

Geometric kinetic energy K=12gq(v,v)K = \frac{1}{2} g_q(v, v) of a harmonic oscillator

For a harmonic oscillator SS with configuration space QQ, the geometric kinetic energy is the function that maps a configuration qQq \in Q and a velocity vector vv in the tangent space TqQT_q Q to the real value: K(q,v)=12gq(v,v) K(q, v) = \frac{1}{2} g_q(v, v) where gqg_q is the mass Riemannian metric of the oscillator SS evaluated at the point qq.

theorem

Geometric kinetic energy K(q,v)=12gq(v,v)K(q, v) = \frac{1}{2} g_q(v, v)

For a harmonic oscillator SS with configuration space QQ, the geometric kinetic energy KK at a configuration qQq \in Q and tangent vector vTqQv \in T_q Q is equal to one half of the mass Riemannian metric gqg_q evaluated on the vector vv: K(q,v)=12gq(v,v) K(q, v) = \frac{1}{2} g_q(v, v)

theorem

The mass Riemannian metric gg is positive definite: gq(v,v)>0g_q(v, v) > 0 for v0v \neq 0

Let SS be a harmonic oscillator and QQ be its configuration space. Let gg be the mass Riemannian metric on QQ. For any configuration qQq \in Q and any non-zero tangent vector vTqQv \in T_q Q in the tangent space at qq, the inner product defined by the metric satisfies gq(v,v)>0g_q(v, v) > 0.

theorem

gq(v,w)=mϕq(v),ϕq(w)Rg_q(v, w) = m \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(w) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}}

For a harmonic oscillator SS with mass mm and configuration space QQ, the mass Riemannian metric gg at a point qQq \in Q applied to tangent vectors v,wTqQv, w \in T_q Q is equal to the mass mm multiplied by the standard Euclidean inner product of their coordinate representatives in R1\mathbb{R}^1: gq(v,w)=mϕq(v),ϕq(w)R g_q(v, w) = m \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(w) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}} where ϕq:TqQR1\phi_q : T_q Q \to \mathbb{R}^1 is the linear equivalence identifying the tangent space with the model space via global coordinates.

theorem

Coordinate formula for geometric kinetic energy K=12mϕq(v),ϕq(v)RK = \frac{1}{2} m \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(v) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}}

For a harmonic oscillator SS with mass mm and configuration space QQ, the geometric kinetic energy KK at a configuration qQq \in Q and tangent vector vTqQv \in T_q Q is equal to the standard coordinate-based kinetic energy: K(q,v)=12mϕq(v),ϕq(v)R K(q, v) = \frac{1}{2} m \langle \phi_q(v), \phi_q(v) \rangle_{\mathbb{R}} where ϕq:TqQR1\phi_q : T_q Q \cong \mathbb{R}^1 is the continuous linear equivalence (`tangentCoord`) identifying the tangent space at qq with the Euclidean model space R1\mathbb{R}^1 via global coordinates, and ,R\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle_{\mathbb{R}} is the standard Euclidean inner product. This identity shows that the metric-induced kinetic energy for the mass metric has the standard harmonic-oscillator coordinate form.
