The Lagrangian-Hamiltonian Formalism for Higher Order Field Theories
We generalize the lagrangian-hamiltonian formalism of Skinner and Rusk to higher order field theories on fiber bundles. As a byproduct we solve the long standing problem of defining, in a coordinate free manner, a hamiltonian formalism for higher order lagrangian field theories, which does only depend on the action functional and, therefore, unlike previously proposed formalisms, is free from a...
متن کاملA nonlinear Hamiltonian formalism for singular Lagrangian theories
We introduce a “nonlinear” version of the Hamiltonian formalism which allows a self-consistent description of theories with degenerate Lagrangian. A generalization of the Legendre transform to the case when the Hessian is zero is done using the mixed (envelope/general) solutions of the multidimensional Clairaut equation. The corresponding system of equations of motion is equivalent to the Lagra...
متن کاملLagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of higher order Chern-Simons theories
We consider models involving the higher (third) derivative extension of the abelian Chern-Simons (CS) topological term in D=2+1 dimensions. The polarisation vectors in these models reveal an identical structure with the corresponding expressions for usual models which contain, at most, quadratic structures. We also investigate the Hamiltonian structure of these models and show how Wigner’s litt...

متن کاملSupplement on Lagrangian, Hamiltonian Mechanics
⋆ When there are several independent variables it is easy to make mistakes in taking partial derivatives. The fundamental rule is: always know which set of independent variables is in use, so that you are sure which are being held fixed during the process of taking a partial derivative. ⋆ A simple example will illustrate the problems that await the careless. Start with f(x, y) = 2x + y; ∂f/∂x =...
