We consider a massive vector field with derivative interactions that propagates only the 3 desired polarizations (besides two tensor polarizations from gravity) with second-order equations of motion in curved space-time. The cosmological…

A Newtonian-like theory inspired by the Brans-Dicke gravitational Lagrangian has been recently proposed in Ref. arXiv:2009.04434(v4). We propose here a new variant of this theory such that the usual Newtonian second law is preserved. The…

We study the predictions for the matter redshift-space power spectrum and correlation function of a Lagrangian-space Gaussian ansatz introduced in a previous work. This model is a natural extension of the Zeldovich approximation, where the…

In Parts I and II we showed that e, $\nu$ propagators can be derived from rotation invariant projection operators, thereby providing examples of how quantities with spacetime symmetry can be obtained by constraining rotationally symmetric…

In a space of 4-dimensions, I will examine constrained variational problems in which the Lagrangian, and constraint scalar density, are concomitants of a (pseudo-Riemannian) metric tensor and its first two derivatives. The Lagrange…

The evolution of probability distribution functions (PDFs) of continuous density, velocity and velocity derivatives ( deformation tensor) fields in the theory of cosmological gravitational instability are considered. We show that in the…

In nonlinear electrodynamics, by implementing the causality principle as the requirement that the group velocity of elementary excitations over a background field should not exceed unity, and the unitarity principle as the requirement that…

We compute the dark matter velocity dispersion tensor up to third order in perturbation theory using the Lagrangian formalism, revealing growing solutions at the third and higher orders. Our results are general and can be used for any other…

In fully developed homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, the Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of motion, although formally equivalent, become statistically decoupled. In this work, by invoking Liouville theorem, we show that the joint…

It is well known that Lagrangian dynamical systems naturally arise in describing wave front dynamics in the limit of short waves (which is called pseudoclassical limit or limit of geometrical optics). Wave fronts are the surfaces of…

The space-time features of the relativistic dynamics are analyzed in the framework of the time dependent propagator theory. The adiabatic hypothesis is substituted by the disturbative adiabatic hypothesis, resulting with the corresponding…

We present a method that is optimized to explicitly obtain all the constraints and thereby count the propagating degrees of freedom in (almost all) manifestly first order classical field theories. Our proposal uses as its only inputs a…

We investigate a class of first-order scalar field theories minimally coupled to a Carrollian connection that are defined intrinsically on the Carrollian plane, i.e., the theories are not defined via limits of Lorentzian theories. The…

We study the spatio-temporal two-point correlation function of passively advected scalar fields in the inertial-convective range in three dimensions by means of numerical simulations. We show that at small time delays $t$ the correlations…

We develop the Lagrangian perturbation theory in the general relativistic cosmology, which enables us to take into account the vortical effect of the dust matter. Under the Lagrangian representation of the fluid flow, the propagation…
