Equivalent descriptions of classical dynamical systems: Some differential geometric remarks

Эквивалентные описания классических динамических систем

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We analyse the procedure to generate different Lagrangian descriptions of the same dynamical system. The geometrical setting provides hints for the more than two-dimensional case. In such a context we give a simple interpretation of constants of the motion of non-Noether type.

Riassunto

Si analizza la procedura per generare diverse descrizioni dello stesso sistema dinamico. Il contesto geometrico fornisce suggerimenti per il caso a più di due dimensioni. In un tale contesto si dà una semplice interpretazione delle costanti del moto di tipo non di Noether.

Резюме

Мы анализируем процедуру получения различных Лагранжевых описаний одной и той же динамической системы. Геометрический контекст дает указания для рассмотрения случая с числом измерений больше двух. В связи с этим мы приводим простую интерпретацию постоянных движения для неноэтеровского типа.
