Equivalence Theorem for Lagrangians in Different Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
A proof is given for the observation that the equations of motion for the companion Lagrangian without a square root, subject to some constraints, just reduce to the equations of motion for the companion Lagrangian with a square root in one less dimension. The companion Lagrangian is just an extension of the Klein-Gordon Lagrangian to more fields in order to provide a field description for strings and branes.

Classical 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...

The problem of equivalence of binary forms under linear changes of variables 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 vartables. The latter problem has a complete solution based on the equivalence method of Cartan. There are two particular rational covariants of any binary f...
متن کاملOn the tensor formulation of effective vector Lagrangians and duality transformations
Using two different methods inspired by duality transformations we present the equivalence between effective Lagrangians for massive vector mesons using a vector field and an antisymmetric tensor field. This completes the list of explicit field transformations between the various effective Lagrangian methods to describe massive vector and axial vector mesons.
متن کاملCompton scattering from a pion and off – shell effects ∗
We discuss the most general form of the electromagnetic vertex of an off–shell pion. The framework of chiral perturbation theory is used to illustrate the representation dependence of the electromagnetic three–point Green's function. For that purpose we discuss the concept of field transformations which, in comparison with the standard Gasser and Leutwyler Lagrangian, generate equivalent Lagran...
متن کاملCompton scattering by a pion and off-shell effects.
We consider Compton scattering by a pion in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. We investigate off–shell effects in the s– and u–channel pole diagrams. For that purpose we perform a field transformation which, in comparison with the standard Gasser and Leutwyler Lagrangian, generates additional terms at order p4 proportional to the lowest–order equation of motion. As a result of the eq...
