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],... 

To calculate the nucleation rate of quark matter in the hadronic medium we use the Lifshitz-Kagan quantum nucleation theory (Lifshitz Kagan 1972) in the relativistic form given by Iida Sato (1997). The QM droplet is supposed to be a sphere of radius 72 and its quantum fluctuations are described by the Lagrangian... 

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... 

This section will be broken into a number of discussions. The first will be on a naive 5(7(2) x 5(7(2) extended standard model, followed by a more general chiral theory and a discussion on the lack of Lagrangian dynamics associated with the B3 field. This will be followed by an examination of non-Abelian QED at nonrelativistic energies and then at relativistic energies. It will conclude with a discussion of a putative 5(9(10) gauge unification that includes the strong interactions. 

This paper presents an account of the dynamics of electric charges coupled to electromagnetic fields. The main approximation is to use non-relativistic forms for the charge and current density. A quantum theory requires either a Lagrangian or a Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics in atomic and molecular physics the latter is almost universal so the main thrust of the paper is the development of a general Hamiltonian. It is this Hamiltonian that provides the basis for a recent demonstration that the S-matrix on the energy shell is gauge-invariant to all orders of perturbation theory. 

Noether s theorem will be proved here for a classical relativistic theory defined by a generic field , which may have spinor or tensor indices. The Lagrangian density (, 9/x) is assumed to be Lorentz invariant and to depend only on scalar forms defined by spinor or tensor fields. It is assumed that coordinate displacements are described by Jacobi s theorem S(d4x) = d4x 9/xgeneral variation of the action integral, evaluated over a closed space-time region 2, is... 

An electromagnetic field is described in relativistic theory by a four-vector A, where the three space components Aij2,3 = Aare called the vector potential A and the fourth (time) component A4 is equal to i where

scalar potential. The Lagrangian for a particle in an electromagnetic field is now given by... 

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... 

All aspects of Newtonian mechanics can equally well be formulated within the more general Lagrangian framework based on a single scalar function, the Lagrangian. These formal developments are essential prerequisites for the later discussion of relativistic mechanics and relativistic quantum field theories. As a matter of fact the importance of the Lagrangian formalism for contemporary physics cannot be overestimated as it has strongly contributed to the development of every branch of modem theoretical physics. We will thus briefly discuss its most central formal aspects within the framework of classical Newtonian mechanics.
