Canonical Formalism for Lagrangians of Maximal Nonlocality
نویسنده
چکیده
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 largely expanded.

A 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 کاملComment on “Canonical formalism for Lagrangians with nonlocality of finite extent”
In ref. [1] it is claimed to have proved that Lagrangian theories with a nonlocality of finite extent are necessarily unstable. In this short note we show that this conclusion is false.
متن کاملLagrangians with Riemann Zeta Function
We consider construction of some Lagrangians which contain the Riemann zeta function. The starting point in their construction is p-adic string theory. These Lagrangians describe some nonlocal and nonpolynomial scalar field models, where nonlocality is controlled by the operator valued Riemann zeta function. The main motivation for this research is intention to find an effective Lagrangian for ...
متن کاملOn Canonical Transformation and Tachyon-like “particles” in Inflationary Cosmology
We examine a classical and quantum dynamics of systems described by the DBItype Lagrangian with tachyon-like potentials and corresponding DBI Lagrangians on (non-)Archimedean spaces. The dynamic of tachyon fields in spatially homogeneous and in zero-dimensional limits is analysed. A formalism for connecting a wide class of potentials and DBI Lagrangians with the locally equivalent canonical Lag...
متن کاملFunctional versus canonical quantization of a nonlocal massive vector-gauge theory
It has been shown in literature that a possible mechanism of mass generation for gauge fields is through a topological coupling of vector and tensor fields. After integrating over the tensor degrees of freedom, one arrives at an effective massive theory that, although gauge invariant, is nonlocal. Here we quantize this nonlocal resulting theory both by path integral and canonical procedures. Th...
