A geometric global formulation of the higher-order Lagrangian formalism for systems with finite number of degrees of freedom is provided. The formalism is applied to the study of systems with groups of Noetherian symmetries.
It is shown that an arbitrary singular Lagrangian theory (with first and second class constraints up to $N$-th stage in the Hamiltonian formulation) can be reformulated as a theory with at most third-stage constraints. The corresponding…
Interesting non-linear functions on the phase spaces of classical field theories can never be quantized immediately because the basic fields of the theory become operator valued distributions. Therefore, one is usually forced to find a…
The Ward identities are the relations which the complete Green functions of quantum fields satisfy if an original classical Lagrangian system is degenerate. A generic degenerate Lagrangian system of even and odd fields is considered. It is…
We study the non-linear background field redefinitions arising at the quantum level in a spontaneously broken effective gauge field theory. The non-linear field redefinitions are crucial for the symmetric (i.e. fulfilling all the relevant…

This review paper is concerned with the generalizations to field theory of the tangent and cotangent structures and bundles that play fundamental roles in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics. The paper…
The Lagrangian formalism for tensor fields over differentiable manifolds with contravariant and covariant affine connections (whose components differ not only by sign) and metrics [$(\bar{L}_n,g)$-spaces] is considered. The functional…
We define quantum field theory by taking the Lagrangian action to be given as a sequence of mathematically well-defined functionals written in terms of operator fields fulfilling given \hbox{local} commutation relations. The renormalized…
The calculation of the standard model Lagrangian of classical field theory within the framework of noncommutative geometry is sketched using a variant with 18 parameters. Improvements compared with the traditional formulation are contrasted…
We study the classical and quantum "properties" of Galilean fermions in 3+1 dimensions. We have taken the case of massless Galilean fermions minimally coupled to the scalar field. At the classical level, the Lagrangian is obtained by null…
We construct higher categories of iterated spans, possibly equipped with extra structure in the form of "local systems", and classify their fully dualizable objects. By the Cobordism Hypothesis, these give rise to framed topological quantum…
We study the geometrical background of the Hamiltonian formalism of first-order Classical Field Theories. In particular, different proposals of multimomentum bundles existing in the usual literature (including their canonical structures)…
Field theoretical models with first order Lagrangean can be formulated in a covariant Hamiltonian formalism. In this article, the geometrical construction of the Gerstenhaber structure that encodes the equations of motion is explained for…
We consider the geometric formulation of the Hamiltonian formalism for field theory in terms of {\em Hamiltonian connections} and {\em multisymplectic forms}. In this framework the covariant Hamilton equations for Mechanics and field theory…
Building on the Utiyama principle we formulate an approach to Lagrangian field theory in which exterior covariant differentials of vector-valued forms replace partial derivatives, in the sense that they take up the role played by the latter…
The classical fields with fractional derivatives are investigated by using the fractional Lagrangian formulation.The fractional Euler-Lagrange equations were obtained and two examples were studied.
A relativistic version of the correspondence principle, a limit in which classical electrodynamics may be derived from QED, has never been clear, especially when including gravitational mass. Here we introduce a novel classical field theory…
Reparametrization invariant Lagrangian theories with higher derivatives are considered. We investigate the geometric structures behind these theories and construct the Hamiltonian formalism in a geometric way. The Legendre transformation…
A geometric model for nonholonomic Lagrangian field theory is studied. The multisymplectic approach to such a theory as well as the corresponding Cauchy formalism are discussed. It is shown that in both formulations, the relevant equations…
