Differential conservation laws in Lagrangian field theory are usually related to symmetries of a Lagrangian density and are obtained if the Lie derivative of a Lagrangian density by a certain class of vector fields on a fiber bundle…
The principle of least action is one of the most fundamental physical principle. It says that among all possible motions connecting two points in a phase space, the system will exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional.…

Mechanics can be founded in a principle stating the uncertainty in the position of an observable particle delta-q as a function of its motion relative to the observer, expressed in a trajectory representation . From this principle,…
The notion of inertial reference frame is abandoned and I replaced it by a local reference frame on which the fundamental law of mechanics is expressed. The distant interactions of cause and effect are modeled by the propagation of waves…
A simple general theorem is used as a tool that generates nonlocal constants of motion for Lagrangian systems. We review some cases where the constants that we find are useful in the study of the systems: the homogeneous potentials of…
A covariant Lagrangian formulation of a solution to the cosmological constant problem, based on vizualising the fluctuations of the vacuum energy as a non-equilibrium process with stochastic behaviour, is presented. The variational…
In the Lagrangian field theory, one gets different identities for different stress energy-momentum tensors, e.g., canonical energy-momentum tensors. Moreover, these identities are not conservation laws of the above-mentioned energy-momentum…
