Lagrangian Mechanics & Field Theory

چکیده
These notes were prepared as a support for a talk at the graduate workshop ”Supersymmetric Field Theories and Their Mathematical Implications” held in March 2012 at the Simons Center in Stony Brook. They are essentially cut out of [1], from which nearly all the material is taken, with a little rearrangement. To the reader looking for a richer exposition we definitely suggest the excellent sources [1,2]. The author warmly thanks Pablo Solis for his careful proofreading and valuable comments.

Coisotropic regularization of singular Lagrangians
We present an alternative approach to the usual treatments of singular Lagrangians. It is based on a Hamiltonian regularization scheme inspired on the coisotropic embedding of presymplectic systems. A Lagrangian regularization of a singular Lagrangian is a regular Lagrangian defined on an extended velocity phase space that reproduces the original theory when restricted to the initial configurat...
متن کاملField theory approach in the dynamics of biomatter
A new approach to model the biomatter dynamics based on the field theory is presented. It is shown that some well known tools in field theory can be utilized to describe the physical phenomena in life matters, in particular at elementary biomatters like DNA and proteins. In this approach, the biomatter dynamics are represented as results of interactions among its elementary matters in the form ...
متن کاملThe Toda Lattice
This motivates the following definition. Definition 1.2. A conserved quantity in a Hamiltonian system is a smooth function f ∈ C∞(M) such that {f,H} = 0. Remark 1.3. If you’re familiar with the Lagrangian model of classical mechanics, you can derive the above setup from a Lagrangian field theory on the real line R, i.e. from classical Lagrangian mechanics. There’s a classical procedure for doin...
متن کاملThe Exact Solution of Born-Infeld Theory in Two Dimension
We obtain the exact operator solution of two-dimensional quantum Born-Infeld theory. This theory has a Lagrangian density non-polynomial in the fundamental fields. So this analysis might shed some light on the analysis of non-perturbative effects of field theories. We find the new exact soluble class of quantum field theories. a E-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملk-Cosymplectic Classical Field Theories: Tulckzyjew, Skinner-Rusk and Lie algebroid formulations
The k-cosymplectic Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of first-order field theories are reviewed and completed. In particular, they are stated for singular and almost-regular systems. Subsequently, several alternative formulations for k-cosymplectic first-order field theories are developed: First, generalizing the construction of Tulczyjew for mechanics, we give a new interpretation of the c...
متن کاملNon–Lagrangian Construction of Hamiltonian Structures
A method to construct Hamiltonian theories for systems of both ordinary and partial differential equations is presented. The knowledge of a Lagrangian is not at all necessary to achieve the result. The only ingredients required for the construction are one solution of the symmetry (perturbation) equation and one constant of the motion of the original system. It turns out that the Poisson bracke...
