Homological algebra of multivalued action functionals

arXiv:math-ph/0112031

Abstract

We outline a cohomological treatment for multivalued (classical) action functionals. We point out that an application of Takens' theorem, after Zuckerman, Deligne and Freed, allows to conclude that multivalued functionals yield globally defined variational equations.
