Dynamical Poincare Symmetry Realized by Field-dependent Diffeomorphisms

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present several Galileo invariant Lagrangians, which are invariant against Poincare transformations defined in one higher (spatial) dimension. Thus these models, which arise in a variety of physical situations, provide a representation for a dynamical (hidden) Poincare symmetry. The action of this symmetry transformation on the dynamical variables is nonlinear, and in one case involves a peculiar field-dependent diffeomorphism. Some of our models are completely integrable, and we exhibit explicit solutions.
