Multisymplectic unified formalism for Einstein-Hilbert gravity

J Gaset, N Román-Roy - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
We present a covariant multisymplectic formulation for the Einstein-Hilbert model of general
relativity. As it is described by a second-order singular Lagrangian, this is a gauge field …

Lagrangian–Hamiltonian unified formalism for autonomous higher order dynamical systems

PD Prieto-Martínez, N Román-Roy - Journal of Physics A …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Lagrangian–Hamiltonian unified formalism of Skinner and Rusk was originally
stated for autonomous dynamical systems in classical mechanics. It has been generalized …

A generalized geometric framework for constrained systems
