Lagrangian Formalism for Multiform Fields on Minkowski Spacetime

چکیده
We present an introduction to the mathematical theory of the Lagrangian formalism for multiform fields on Minkowski spacetime based on the multiform and extensor calculus. Our formulation gives a unified mathematical description for the main relativistic field theories including the gravitational field (which however will be discussed in a separate paper). We worked out several examples (including tricks of the trade), from simple to very sophisticated ones (like, e.g., the Dirac-Hestenes field on the more general gravitational background) which show the power and beauty of the formalism.

Gauge theories on the κ - Minkowski spacetime
This study of gauge field theories on κ-deformed Minkowski spacetime extends previous work on field theories on this example of a noncommutative spacetime. We construct deformed gauge theories for arbitrary compact Lie groups using the concept of enveloping algebra-valued gauge transformations and the SeibergWitten formalism. Derivative-valued gauge fields lead to field strength tensors as the ...

In this paper using the Clifford bundle formalism a Lagrangian theory of the Yang-Mills type (with a gauge fixing term and an auto interacting term) for the gravitational field in Minkowski spacetime is presented. It is shown how two simple hypothesis permits the interpretation of the formalism in terms of effective Lorentzian or teleparallel geometries. In the case of a Lorentzian geometry int...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Lagrangians
Let’s recall some notions from classical Lagrangian field theory. Let M be an oriented supermanifold: our spacetime, of dimension n|d. For our purposes, we will most often think about the case where M is either Minkowski space M̌ = R1,n−1, or Super Minkowski space M = M̌ ×ΠS where S is a representation of Spin(1, n− 1). Definition 1.1. Let E → M be a smooth (super) fibre bundle. The associated sp...
متن کاملNonlocal Lagrangians for Accelerated Systems
Acceleration-induced nonlocality and the corresponding Lorentz-invariant nonlocal field equations of accelerated systems in Minkowski spacetime are discussed. Under physically reasonable conditions, the nonlocal equation of motion of the field can be derived from a varia-tional principle of stationary action involving a nonlocal Lagrangian that is simply obtained by composing the local inertial...
متن کاملThe n-symplectic Algebra of Observables in Covariant Lagrangian Field Theory‡
n-symplectic geometry on the adapted frame bundle λ : LπE → E of an n = (m + k)-dimensional fiber bundle π : E → M is used to set up an algebra of observables for covariant Lagrangian field theories. Using the principle bundle ρ : LπE → Jπ we lift a Lagrangian L : Jπ → R to a Lagrangian L := ρ∗(L) : LπE → R, and then use L to define a ”modified n-symplectic potential” θ̂L on LπE, the Cartan-Hami...
