Conserved currents in gravitational models with quasi-invariant Lagrangians: Application to teleparallel gravity
Conservation laws in gravitational theories with diffeomorphism and local Lorentz symmetry are studied. Main attention is paid to the construction of conserved currents and charges associated with an arbitrary vector field that generates a diffeomorphism on the spacetime. We further generalize previous results for the case of gravitational models described by quasi-invariant Lagrangians, that i...
متن کاملDynamics of the Tippe Top via Routhian Reduction
We consider a tippe top modeled as an eccentric sphere, spinning on a horizontal table and subject to a sliding friction. Ignoring translational effects, we show that the system is reducible using a Routhian reduction technique. The reduced system is a two dimensional system of second order differential equations, that allows an elegant and compact way to retrieve the classification of tippe to...
متن کاملClassical Invariant Theory and the Equivalence Problem for Particle Lagrangians
The problem of equivalence of binary forms under the general linear group is shown to be a special case of the problem of equivalence of particle Lagrangians under the pseudogroup of transformations of both the independent and dependent variables. The latter problem has a complete solution based on the equivalence method of Cartan. This leads to the determination of a universal function which r...
متن کاملReduction of Singular Lagrangians of Higher-order
Given a singular non-autonomous Lagrangian of higher order we construct a reduced evolution space of the same order and a local regular Lagrangian on it which is gauge equivalent to the original one. The general geometrical framework used is the theory of almost stable tangent geometry of higher order introduced in 17]. We show that higher order almost stable manifols can be endowed with a loca...
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...
