The multi-field generalisation of the Bateman equation arises from considerations of the continuation of String and Brane equations to the case where the base space is of higher dimension than the target space. The complex extension of this…
The Universal Field Equations, recently constructed as examples of higher dimensional dynamical systems which admit an infinity of inequivalent Lagrangians are shown to be linearised by a Legendre transformation. This establishes the…
Metric independent $\sigma$ models are constructed. These are field theories which generalise the membrane idea to situations where the target space has fewer dimensions than the base manifold. Instead of reparametrisation invariance of the…
Necessary conditions for a field theoretic equation of motion to be the consequence of variation of an infinite number of inequivalent Lagrangians are examined.
We address the problem of the existence of a Lagrangian for a given system of linear PDEs with constant coefficients. As a subtask, this involves bringing the system into a pre-Lagrangian form, wherein the number of equations matches the…
The phenomenon of an implicit function which solves a large set of second order partial differential equations obtainable from a variational principle is explicated by the introduction of a class of universal solutions to the equations…
The purpose of this article is to initiate a study of a class of Lorentz invariant, yet tractable, Lagrangian Field Theories which may be viewed as an extension of the Klein-Gordon Lagrangian to many scalar fields in a novel manner. These…
The general solution to the Complex Bateman equation is constructed. It is given in implicit form in terms of a functional relationship for the unknown function. The known solution of the usual Bateman equation is recovered as a special…
We study the relationship between the equations of first order Lagrangian field theory on fiber bundles and the covariant Hamilton equations on the finite-dimensional polysymplectic phase space of covariant Hamiltonian field theory. The…
Further properties of a recently proposed higher order infinite spin particle model are derived. Infinitely many classically equivalent but different Hamiltonian formulations are shown to exist. This leads to a condition of uniqueness in…
Covariance is a useful property for handling supergravity theories. In this paper, we prove a covariance property of supergravity field equations: under reasonable conditions, field equations of supergravity are covariant modulo other field…
The recent progress in the study of Galileons, i.e. equations of second order with an action invariant under a Galilean transformation is related to work on `Universal Field Equations' \cite{dbfgov} which are second order equations arising…
Several families of nonlinear field equations are known to possess space- localized singularity-free solutions which describe fields with finite Hermitian norms. This paper studies the interaction of such fields with given electromagnetic…
New reparametrisation invariant field equations are constructed which describe $d$-brane models in a space of $d+1$ dimensions. These equations, like the recently discovered scalar field equations in $d+1$ dimensions, are universal, in the…
We find general non-linear lagrangians of a U(1) field invariant under electric-magnetic duality. They are characterized by an arbitrary function and go to the Maxwell theory in the weak field limit. We give some explicit examples which are…
Further investigations of implicit solutions to non-linear partial differential equations are pursued. Of particular interest are the equations which are Lorentz invariant. The question of which differential equations of second order for a…
Hamiltonians that are multivalued functions of momenta are of topical interest since they correspond to the Lagrangians containing higher-degree time derivatives. Incidentally, such classes of branched Hamiltonians lead to certain not too…
We study the constrained Ostrogradski-Hamilton framework for the equations of motion provided by mechanical systems described by second-order derivative actions with a linear dependence in the accelerations. We stress out the peculiar…
We investigate forms on supermanifolds defined as Lagrangians of ``copaths'' (that is, systems of equations, which may or may not specify submanifolds). For this, we consider direct products $M^{n|m}\times\Bbb R^{r|s}$ and study…
One unusual property of dynamic systems, whose state is characterized by a set of scalar dynamic variables satisfying a system of differential equations of a general form, is considered. This property is related to the behavior of equations…
