About Boundary Terms in Higher Order Theories
L. Fatibene, M. Francaviglia, S. Mercadante
It is shown that when in a higher order variational principle one fixes fields at the boundary leaving the field derivatives unconstrained, then the variational principle (in parti…
Noether Symmetries and Covariant Conservation Laws in Classical, Relativistic and Quantum Physics
L. Fatibene, M. Francaviglia, S. Mercadante
We review the Lagrangian formulation of Noether symmetries (as well as "generalized Noether symmetries") in the framework of Calculus of Variations in Jet Bundles, with a special a…
First Order Extended Gravity and the Dark Side of the Universe: the General Theory
S. Capozziello, M. De Laurentis, M. Francaviglia +1
General Relativity is not the definitive theory of Gravitation due to several shortcomings which are coming out both from theoretical and experimental viewpoints. At large scales (…
Matter Lagrangians Coupled with Connections
L. Fatibene, M. Francaviglia, S. Mercadante
We shall here consider extended theories of gravitation in the metric-affine formalism with matter coupled directly to the connection. A sufficiently general procedure will be exhi…
Further Extended Theories of Gravitation: Part II
L. Fatibene, M. Ferraris, M. Francaviglia +1
We shall present and analyze two examples of extended theories of gravitation in Palatini formalism with matter that couples to the connection. This will show that the class of Fur…
From Dark Energy and Dark Matter to Dark Metric
S. Capozziello, M. De Laurentis, M. Francaviglia +1
It is nowadays clear that General Relativity cannot be the definitive theory of Gravitation due to several shortcomings that come out both from theoretical and experimental viewpoi…
