A cohomological obstruction in higher dimensional Chern--Simons gauge theories

Marcella Palese, Ekkehart Winterroth

We study a set of cohomology classes which emerge in the cohomological formulations of the calculus of variations as obstructions to the existence of (global) solutions of the Eule…

Relativistic mechanics of constant curvature

R. Ya. Matsyuk

We consider an inverse variational problem for the lines of constant curvature in (pseudo-)Euclidean two-, three-, and four-dimensional spaces. The accumulated results are physical…

Covariant derivatives for Ehresmann connections

G. E. Prince, D. J. Saunders

We deal with the construction of covariant derivatives for some quite general Ehresmann connections on fibre bundles. We show how the introduction of a vertical endomorphism allows…

Linear connections and shape maps for second order ODEs with and without constraints

G. E. Prince, M. Farré Puiggalí, D. J. Saunders +1

We deal with the construction of linear connections associated with second order ordinary differential equations with and without first order constraints. We use a novel method all…

Mathematical foundations for field theories on Finsler spacetimes

Manuel Hohmann, Christian Pfeifer, Nicoleta Voicu

The paper introduces a general mathematical framework for action based field theories on Finsler spacetimes. As most often fields on Finsler spacetime (e.g., the Finsler fundamenta…
