Abstract
We discuss the consequences of higher derivative Lagrangians of the form , , , , , in relativistic theory. After establishing the equations of the motion of particles in these fields, we introduce the concept of the generalized induction principle assuming the coupling between the higher fields with the higher currents , where is the spatial density of mass or of electric charge. In addition, we discuss the analogy of the field with the gravitational field and its inclusion in the general relativity framework in the last section. This letter is an invitation to reflect on a generalisation of the concept of inertia and we also discuss this problem in the last section.
