Legendre Transformation for Regularizable Lagrangians in Field Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hamilton equations based not only upon the Poincaré–Cartan equivalent of a first-order Lagrangian, but rather upon its Lepagean equivalent are investigated. Lagrangians which are singular within the Hamilton–De Donder theory, but regularizable in this generalized sense are studied. Legendre transformation for regularizable Lagrangians is proposed, and Hamilton equations, equivalent with the Euler–Lagrange equations, are found. It is shown that all Lagrangians affine or quadratic in the first derivatives of the field variables are regularizable. The Dirac field and the electromagnetic field are discussed in detail.

Canonical Formalism for Lagrangians of Maximal Nonlocality
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 la...
متن کاملQuantum Equivalence of Auxiliary Field Methods in Supersymmetric Theories
Quantum corrections to Legendre transformations are shown to cancel to all orders in supersymmetric theories in path integral formalism. Using this result, lagrangians for auxiliary fields are generalized to non-quadratic forms. In supersymmetric effective nonlinear lagrangians, the arbitrariness due to the existence of quasi Nambu-Goldstone bosons is shown to disappear when local auxiliary gau...
متن کاملA General Background of Higher Order Geometry and Induced Objects on Subspaces
The higher order bundles defined by an affine bundle E and a vector pseudofield on E are investigated this paper. The acceleration bundles become nontrivial examples which motivate the above extension. Moreover, the main ideas of our construction can be used as well in other cases. Using affine bundles, a dual theory between Lagrangians and Hamiltonians (via Legendre transformations) is conside...
متن کاملHomogenization for a Class of Integral Functionals in Spaces of Probability Measures
We study the homogenization of a class of actions with an underlying Lagrangian L defined on the set of absolutely continuous paths in the Wasserstein space Pp(R). We introduce an appropriate topology on this set and obtain the existence of a Γ-limit of the rescaled Lagrangians. Our main goal is provide to a representation formula for these Γ-limits in terms of the effective Lagrangians. Not on...
متن کاملLagrangian formulation of some q - deformed systems
In the framework of Lagrangian formulation, some q-deformed physical systems are considered. The q-deformed Legendre transformation is obtained for the free motion of a non-relativistic particle on a quantum line. This is subsequently exploited to obtain the Lagrangians for the q-deformed harmonic oscillator and q-deformed relativistic free particle. The Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are d...
