Download or read book New Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods in Field Theory written by G. Giachetta and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book incorporates 3 modern aspects of mathematical physics: the jet methods in differential geometry, Lagrangian formalism on jet manifolds and the multimomentum approach to Hamiltonian formalism. Several contemporary field models are investigated in detail.This is not a book on differential geometry. However, modern concepts of differential geometry such as jet manifolds and connections are used throughout the book. Quadratic Lagrangians and Hamiltonians are studied at the general level including a treatment of Hamiltonian formalism on composite fiber manifolds. The book presents new geometric methods and results in field theory.
