An alternate Hamiltonian H different from Ostrogradski's one is found for the Lagrangian L = L(q, \dot q, \ddot q). We add a suitable divergence to L and insert a=q and b=\ddot q. Contrary to other approaches no constraint is needed because…
The Donald-Flanigan conjecture asserts that for any finite group and for any field, the corresponding group algebra can be deformed to a separable algebra. The minimal unsolved instance, namely the quaternion group over a field of…
We introduce a natural Turing-complete extension of first-order logic FO. The extension adds two novel features to FO. The first one of these is the capacity to add new points to models and new tuples to relations. The second one is the…
We develop a unified theory of augmented Lagrangians for nonconvex optimization problems that encompasses both duality theory and convergence analysis of primal-dual augmented Lagrangian methods in the infinite dimensional setting. Our goal…
We show how to generalize the classical duals found by Gabadadze {\it et al} to a very large class of self-interacting theories. This enables one to adopt a perturbative description beyond the scale at which classical perturbation theory…
This is an addition to a series of papers [FL1, FL2, FL3, FL4], where we develop quaternionic analysis from the point of view of representation theory of the conformal Lie group and its Lie algebra. In this paper we develop split…
In this paper, for massive fields of spins 2 and 3 with non-canonical Lagrangians, we build Hamiltonians and full systems of constraints and show that the use of derivatives in a redefinition of fields can give rise to a change of number of…
We show that general cutoff scalar field theories in four dimensions are perturbatively renormalizable through the use of diagrammatic techniques and an adapted BPH renormalization method. Weinberg's convergence theorem is used to show that…
In this article, we are concerned with the Langlands functoriality conjecture. Cogdell, Kim, Piatetski-Shapiro and Shahidi proved functioriality conjecture in the case of a globally generic cuspidal automorphic representation for the split…
On even-dimensional Euclidean space for integer powers of the Laplace operator greater than or equal to half the dimension, a fundamental solution of the polyharmonic equation has binomial and logarithmic behavior. Gegenbauer polynomial…
A description of how the principle of stationary action reproduces itself in terms of the intrinsic geometry of variational equations is proposed. A notion of stationary points of an internal Lagrangian is introduced. A connection between…
The applications of effective lagrangians to the determination of the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model are briefly described. Emphasis is given to those effective operators which generate the largest deviations form the Standard…
The exceptional symmetries of supergravity have been reproduced from the Hamiltonian formulation of the classical mechanics of F-theory. We now find the Lagrangian formalism has even larger exceptional symmetries, simplifying its…
We derive the Lagrangians of the higher-order Painlev\'e equations using Jacobi's last multiplier technique. Some of these higher-order differential equations display certain remarkable properties like passing the Painlev\'e test and…
We consider non-chiral, full Lorentz group-based Plebanski formulation of general relativity in its version that utilizes the Lagrange multiplier field Phi with "internal" indices. The Hamiltonian analysis of this version of the theory…
It is shown that self-dual theories generalize to four dimensions both the conformal and analytic aspects of two-dimensional conformal field theories. In the harmonic space language there appear several ways to extend complex analyticity…
In this note, we prove that minimizers of convex functionals with a convexity constraint and a general class of Lagrangians can be approximated by solutions to fourth-order equations of Abreu type. Our result generalizes that of Le (Twisted…
This paper is a continuation of [13], where new variational principles were introduced based on the concept of anti-selfdual (ASD) Lagrangians. We continue here the program of using these Lagrangians to provide variational formulations and…
A modified system of equations of electrodynamics has been obtained. Beside the Lagrangian one an alternative gauge-like formalism has been developed to introduce the toroid moment contributions in the equations obtained. The two potential…
Trivial second-order Lagrangians are studied and a complete description of the dependence on the second-order derivatives is given. This extends previous work of Olver and others. In particular, this description involves some polynomial…
