Canonical Formalism for Lagrangians of Maximal Nonlocality
A canonical formalism for Lagrangians of maximal nonlocality is established. The method is based on the familiar Legendre transformation to a new function which can be derived from the maximally nonlocal Lagrangian. The corresponding canonical equations are derived through the standard procedure in local theory and appear much like those local ones, though the implication of the equations is la...
متن کاملLagrange-formalism of point-masses
We prove by symmetry properties that the Lagrangian of a free pointmass is a quadratic function of the speed in the non-relativistic case, and that the action of the free point-mass between two spacetime points is the proper time passed in the relativistic case. These well known facts are proved in a mathematically rigorous way with a frame independent treatment based on spacetime models introd...
متن کاملA Canonical Formalism For Lagrangians With Nonlocality Of Finite Extent
I consider Lagrangians which depend nonlocally in time but in such a way that there is no mixing between times differing by more than some finite value ∆t. By considering these systems as the limits of ever higher derivative theories I obtain a canonical formalism in which the coordinates are the dynamical variable from t to t+∆t. A simple formula for the conjugate momenta is derived in the sam...
متن کاملInvariant Lagrangians , mechanical connections and the Lagrange - Poincaré equations
We deal with Lagrangian systems that are invariant under the action of a symmetry group. The mechanical connection is a principal connection that is associated to Lagrangians which have a kinetic energy function that is defined by a Riemannian metric. In this paper we extend this notion to arbitrary Lagrangians. We then derive the reduced Lagrange-Poincaré equations in a new fashion and we show...
متن کاملConservation laws for non–global Lagrangians
In the Lagrangian framework for symmetries and conservation laws of field theories, we investigate globality properties of conserved currents associated with non–global Lagrangians admitting global Euler–Lagrange morphisms. Our approach is based on the recent geometric formulation of the calculus of variations on finite order jets of fibered manifolds in terms of variational sequences.
