It is well-known that classical linear elasticity equations are not form-invariant under local transformations. This is intrinsically related to the inhomogeneity of elastic media. However, the reported new linear elasticity equations for…
We consider a new effective symmetry that acts on a gauge invariant Lagrangian. We show that the standard model after spontaneous symmetry breakdown is invariant under this symmetry which identifies up to a scale factor the gauge parameter…
A detailed program is proposed in the Lagrangian formalism to investigate the dynamical behavior of a theory with singular Lagrangian. This program goes on, at different levels, parallel to the Hamiltonian analysis. In particular, we…
Phenomena in gauge theory are often described in the physics literature via a specific choice of gauge. In foundational and philosophical discussions this is often criticized as introducing gauge dependence, and contrasted against (often…
We show how implementing invariance under divergence-free gauge transformations leads to a remarkably simple Lagrangian description of massless bosons of any spin. Our construction covers both flat and (A)dS backgrounds and extends to…
In view of the well-known correspondence between gravitational fields and space-time distributions on a world manifold X, the criterion of gravitation singularities as singularities of these distributions is suggested. In the germ terms,…

Chiral perturbation theory is extended to nonrelativistic systems with spontaneously broken symmetry. In the effective Lagrangian, order parameters associated with the generators of the group manifest themselves as effective coupling…
We study singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flow in $\C^n$ when the initial condition is a zero-Maslov class Lagrangian. We start by showing that, in this setting, singularities are unavoidable. More precisely, we construct…

The exactness equation for Lepage 2-forms, associated with variational systems of ordinary differential equations on smooth manifolds, is analyzed with the aim to construct a concrete global variational principle. It is shown that locally…
A Lagrange Theorem in dimension 2 is proved, for a particular two-dimensional algorithm, with a very natural geometrical definition. Dirichlet-type properties for the convergence of the algorithm are also proved. These properties procced…
How to make compatible both boundary and gauge conditions for generally covariant theories using the gauge symmetry generated by first class constraints is studied. This approach employs finite gauge transformations in contrast with…
Models of relativistic particle with Lagrangian ${\cal L}(k_1)$, depending on the curvature of the worldline $k_1$, are considered. By making use of the Frenet basis, the equations of motion are reformulated in terms of the principal…
Multidimensional consistency has emerged as a key integrability property for partial difference equations (P$\Delta$Es) defined on the "space-time" lattice. It has led, among other major insights, to a classification of scalar affine-linear…
