This new approach can be interpreted as a suitable generalization to Field Theory of the homogeneous formalism for Hamiltonian Mechanics. As an example of application, we obtain the expression of a formal energy for a parametrized version of the Hilbert--Einstein Lagrangian and we show that this quantity is conserved.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-09-21T09:08:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "70S05", "70G45" ], "keywords": [ "field theory", "homogeneous formalism", "gauge invariance", "multisymplectic forms", "composite fibered bundle" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 713573, "adsabs": "2006math.ph...3062P" } } }
