We work on the Lagrangian formulation of the Palatini action. We find that we must assume the metric compatibility condition for the Palatini action to describe General Relativity, which condition should hold in quantization. We find that…
Multiplicity results for solutions of various boundary value problems are known for dynamical systems on compact configuration manifolds, given by Lagrangians or Hamiltonians which have quadratic growth in the velocities or in the momenta.…
We prove that for any element in the $\gamma$-completion of the space of smooth compact exact Lagrangian submanifolds of a cotangent bundle, if its $\gamma$-support is a smooth Lagrangian submanifold, then the element itself is a smooth…
It is shown that the Lorentz invariant $f(T)$ gravity, defined by the coframe-connection-multiplier form of the Lagrangian, can be gauge-fixed to the pure coframe form. After clarifying basic aspects of the problem in the Lagrangian…
Most comparisons of preferences are instances of single-crossing dominance. We examine the lattice structure of single-crossing dominance, proving characterisation, existence and uniqueness results for minimum upper bounds of arbitrary sets…
We analyze the constraint structure of a spin-3/2 particle interacting with a pseudoscalar. Requiring the self consistency of the considered effective field theory imposes restrictions on the possible interaction terms. In the present case…
The paths on the {\bf R$^3$} real Euclidean manifold are defined as 2-dimensional simplicial strips; points are replaced by 2-simplexes and the orbits of the action of a one discrete-parameter group on the base manifold becomes a convex…
Systems with singular higher order- Lagrangians are investigated by using the extended form of the canonical method. Besides, the canonical path integral formulation is generalized using the Hamilton- jacobi formulation to investigate…
We introduce a new criterion which tests if a given decomposition of a given ternary form $T$ of even degree is unique. The criterion is based on the analysis of the Hilbert function of the projective set of points $Z$ associated to the…
The new idea of flip invariance of action functionals in multidimensional lattices was recently highlighted as a key feature of discrete integrable systems. Flip invariance was proved for several particular cases of integrable…
We explore the implications of the requirement of Galilean invariance for classical point particle lagrangians, in which the space is not assumed to be flat to begin with. We show that for the free, time-independent lagrangian, this…
The existence of a Lagrangian description for the second-order Riccati equation is analyzed and the results are applied to the study of two different nonlinear systems both related with the generalized Riccati equation. The Lagrangians are…
Let $G$ be a semisimple adjoint group over $\bold C$ and $\bar{G}$ be the De Concini-Procesi completion of $G$. In this paper, we define a Lagrangian subvariety $\Lambda$ of the cotangent bundle of $\bar{G}$ such that the singular support…
In this article, the hierarchy of LFIs L$_n^k$, Logics of Controlled Consistency (LCC), is introduced. Inspired by da Costa's original C$_n$ systems, this hierarchy can represent different degrees of paraconsistent commitment and different…
We construct a family of compact almost Calabi--Yau manifolds of complex dimension 3 and therein a corresponding family of compact special Lagrangians with one-point singularities modelled upon that T^2-cone constructed by Harvey--Lawson…
We present two types of relativistic Lagrangians for the Lorentz-Dirac equation written in terms of an arbitrary world-line parameter. One of the Lagrangians contains an exponential damping function of the proper time and explicitly depends…
We show how to define Riemannian metrics and connections on a noncommutative torus in such a way that an analogue of Levi-Civita's theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a Riemannian connection holds. The major novelty is that we need…
In 2021, Lei et al. claimed the equivalence between the two Lagrangians $\mathcal{L}_1 =-mc\sqrt{-g_{\mu\nu}{\dot{x}}^\mu{\dot{x}}^\nu}-V$ and $\mathcal{L}_2 = \frac{1}{2}mg_{\mu\nu} {\dot{x}}^\mu{\dot{x}}^\nu-V$ for describing particle…
Textbook treatments of classical mechanics typically assume that the Lagrangian is nonsingular. That is, the matrix of second derivatives of the Lagrangian with respect to the velocities is invertible. This assumption insures that (i)…
We study in this paper the continuous and discrete Euler-Lagrange equations arising from a quadratic lagrangian. Those equations may be thought as numerical schemes and may be solved through a matrix based framework. When the lagrangian is…
