In this paper, we review two related aspects of field theory: the modeling of the fields by means of exterior algebra and calculus, and the derivation of the field dynamics, i.e., the Euler-Lagrange equations, by means of the stationary…

In seeking a minimal variational formulation of Maxwell's equations, one is led naturally to the scalar and vector potentials as "adjoint" functions in a well-defined sense and to the crucial minus sign that defines the Lagrangian.
Euler-Lagrange equations and variational integrators are developed for Lagrangian mechanical systems evolving on a product of two-spheres. The geometric structure of a product of two-spheres is carefully considered in order to obtain global…
