A gauge independent method of obtaining the reduced space of constrained dynamical systems is discussed in a purely lagrangian formalism. Implications of gauge fixing are also considered.
We construct a pseudo-Lagrangian that is invariant under rigid $E_{11}$ and transforms as a density under $E_{11}$ generalised diffeomorphisms. The gauge-invariance requires the use of a section condition studied in previous work on…
Necessary optimality conditions in Lagrangian form and the sequential minimization framework are extended to mixed-integer nonlinear optimization, without any convexity assumptions. Building upon a recently developed notion of local…
We analyze the relation between the concept of auxiliary variables and the Inverse problem of the calculus of variations to construct a Lagrangian from a given set of equations of motion. The problem of the construction of a consistent…
This paper introduces a notion of categorical approximability for metric spaces that can be viewed as a categorification of approximability for metric groups, as defined by Turing in 1938. Approximability as introduced here is a property of…

We present a framework for discussing the cosmology of dark energy and dark matter based on two scalar degrees of freedom. An effective field theory of cosmological perturbations is employed. A unitary gauge choice renders the dark energy…
The Lagrangian formalism is used to derive covariant equations that are suitable for use in continuously distributed matter in curved spacetime. Special attention is given to theoretical representation, in which the Lagrangian and its…
In this paper, we study infinite-dimensional Lagrangian systems where the potential functions are periodic, rearrangement invariant and weakly upper semicontinuous. And we prove that there exists a calibrated curve for every $M\in…
We investigate deformations of lagrangian manifolds with singularities. We introduce a complex similar to the de Rham-complex whose cohomology calculates deformation spaces. Examples of singular lagrangian varieties are presented and…
Lagrange multipliers are present in any gauge theory. They possess peculiar gauge transformation which is not generated by the constraints in the model as it is the case with the other variables. For rank one gauge theories we show how to…
Lagrangian cobordism induces a preorder on the set of Legendrian links in any contact 3-manifold. We show that any finite collection of null-homologous Legendrian links in a tight contact 3-manifold with a common rotation number has an…
The low-energy and low-momentum dynamics of systems with a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry is dominated by the ensuing Nambu-Goldstone bosons. It can be conveniently encoded in a model-independent effective field theory whose…
This paper is a summary of the theory of discrete embeddings introduced in [5]. A discrete embedding is an algebraic procedure associating a numerical scheme to a given ordinary differential equation. Lagrangian systems possess a…
We consider massive half-integer higher spin fields coupled to an external constant electromagnetic field in flat space of an arbitrary dimension and construct a gauge invariant Lagrangian in the linear approximation in the external field.…
The use of Lagrangian cuts proves effective in enhancing the lower bound of the master problem within the execution of benders-type algorithms, particularly in the context of two-stage stochastic programs. However, even the process of…
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…
We use a description based on differential forms to systematically explore the space of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Within this formalism, we propose a basis for the scalar sector at the lowest order in derivatives of the field and…
We consider deformations of singular Lagrangian varieties in symplectic spaces. We show the coherence of the direct image sheaves of relative infinitesimal Lagrangian deformations. Using this result, we prove that, under some assumptions, a…
We study Lagrangian cobordism groups of closed symplectic surfaces of genus $g \geq 2$ whose relations are given by unobstructed, immersed Lagrangian cobordisms. Building upon work of Abouzaid and Perrier, we compute these cobordism groups…
