It provides an interesting example of \"mechanics\" with singular Lagrangians, effectively treatable within the framework of Dirac formalism. We discuss also some modified \"Schr\\\"odinger\" equations involving second-order time derivatives and introduce a kind of non-direct, non-perturbative, geometrically-motivated nonlinearity based on making the scalar product a dynamical quantity. There are some reasons to expect that this might be a new way of describing open dynamical systems and explaining some quantum \"paradoxes\".", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-11-18T14:11:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hamiltonian systems", "second-order tensors", "quantum mechanics", "related equations", "nonlinearity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 51, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0812.5055S" } } }
