Lagrangian field theory

Plain models of d5mamics of a dispersoid in apparatuses can be realized within the limits of Lagrangian field theory, assuming integra-... 

In field theory the Lagrangian density is referred to simply as the Lagrangian, using the same symbol L. The variation of L is written explicitly as... 

In the case of the free scalar field, since we have equation of motion for the tilde and non-tilde variables, the f3—dependent Klein-Gordon field theory is given by the Lagrangian (Y. Takahashi et.al., 1975 H. Umezawa, 1993)... 

FM at some density 1. One of the essential points we learned here is that we need no spin-dependent interaction at the original Lagrangian to see SSP. We can see a similar phenomenon in dealing with nuclear matter within the relativistic mean-field theory, where the Fock interaction can be extracted by way of the Fierz transformation from the original Lagrangian [11],... 

Nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics (NRQED) [11] is an attempt to combine the simplicity of the quantum mechanical description with the power and rigor of field theory. The idea is to write ordinary relativistic quantum electrodynamics in the form of a nonrelativistic expansion with a Lagrangian containing vertices with arbitrary powers of fields. This is useful if we want to consider essentially nonrelativistic processes, like nonrelativistic bound states and threshold phenomena. In such a physical situation the dominant dynamics is nonrelativistic, and the calculations could be in principle simplified if... 

U(l), whose group space is a circle. This result is another internal inconsistency, because the group space of a gauge theory is a circle, there can be no physical quantity in free space perpendicular to that plane. It is necessary but not sufficient, in this view, that the Lagrangian in U(l) field theory be invariant [6] under U(l) gauge transformation. 

In quantum field theory, the gauge field is determined by its Lagrangian density, and the fermion field, by the Dirac Lagrangian density ... 

Because field quantization falls outside the scope of the present text, the discussion here has been limited to properties of classical fields that follow from Lorentz and general nonabelian gauge invariance of the Lagrangian densities. Treating the interacting fermion field as a classical field allows derivation of symmetry properties and of conservation laws, but is necessarily restricted to a theory of an isolated single particle. When this is extended by field quantization, so that the field amplitude rjr becomes a sum of fermion annihilation operators, the theory becomes applicable to the real world of many fermions and of physical antiparticles, while many qualitative implications of classical gauge field theory remain valid. 

The simplest examples of such systems in quantum physics are the interaction of the charged quantum particle with the Lagrangian L = mr2/2 + ejcAr and the solenoidal magnetic field A — e x r/r 2 (the Aharonov-Bohm effect) or the interaction of two anions in 2 + 1-field theory [14]. In both cases, the configurational space is the plane with one point removed. 

We may also note an analogy between mean field theory and classical mechanics, and treat the integrand of the Fb functional as the Lagrangian Then... 

In the 0-Hartree method [19] the Dirac equation is also used as the starting point, but the Lagrangian of quantum field theory is made stationary by altering the balance of direct and exchange terms in a very specific way. Like Hartree s original theory without exchange, this method is consistent with the fundamental principles of quantum field theory (the Hartree-Fock method is not), and allows the central field to be further... 

It was pointed out in chapter 1 that there exist alternative mean-field theories to the Hartree-Fock method. In particular, one of these, the <7-Hartree method, is a fully relativistic theory which determines the optimum mean field in such a way as to make the Lagrangian of quantum field theory stationary. This is a fundamental choice, but turns out [230] to be satisfied by a whole family of SCF potentials of the general form... 

First, let us consider field theory. If the Lagrangian theory defined in Chapter 11 is a genuine field theory, as we believe, the Green s function has a pole for k2 = - m2 (where m can be considered as the mass of the particle which the field describes) and also a cut for more negative values of k1. Thus, for large values of r, we must attribute a dominant role to this pole. At the pole, O(x) vanishes, and in the vicinity of this point we may set... 

Our starting point is the classical field theory characterized by the Lagrangian... 

The recent, most significant achievements in studying the structure of polymer systems are based on applying the field theory formalism. This section contauns the definitions and brief characterization of the main quantities and terms of the field theory in the Lagrangian form. Hereinafter, we follow Amit (1978). 

The magnet system on Ising s lattice (see section 1.7) is translated into the notation of the hagreingian form of the field theory (Amit, 1978). As a result, an expression in the Fourier transform for the Lagrangian is obtained... 

Now we are able to formulate the general rules of graph building in the scalar field theory for the interacting Lagrangian of the general form... 

Section 2.6 gives the Lagrangian formalism of field theory. The properties of the correlation function of the order parameter G (Green s function) are treated in detail, slncp many experimentally determined values are expressed in terms of this function. 

I inally, section 2.6 represents the Lagrangian formalism of general field theory, following Amit (1978). This formalism was developed in the quantum field theory and has recently come into use in polymer theory.
