WARREN ISENSEE by Dailey, Meghan / Artforum International Jurdjevic covers Cartan decomposition and the generalized elastic problems, the maximum principle and the Hamiltonians, the left-invariant symplectic form, symmetries and the conservation laws, complex Lie groups and complex Hamiltons, complexified elastic problems, complex elasticae of Euler and its n-dimensional extensions, Cartan algebras, root spaces and extra integrals of motion, and elastic curves in the cases of Lagrange and Kowalewski.
