Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Metric-affine cosmological models and the inverse problem of the calculus of variations. Part 1: variational bootstrapping -- the method

arXiv:2403.15564v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The method of variational completion allows one to transform an (in principle, arbitrary) system of partial differential equations -- based on an intuitive ``educated guess'' -- into the Euler-Lagrange one attached to a Lagrangian, by adding a canonical correction term. Here, we extend this technique to theories that involve at least two sets of dynamical variables : we show that an educated guess of the field equations with respect to one of these sets of variables only is sufficient to variationally complete these equations and recover a Lagrangian for the full theory, up to terms that do not involve the respective variables.
Applying this idea to natural metric-affine theories of gravity, we prove that, starting from an educated guess of the metric equations only, one can find the full metric equations, together with a generally covariant Lagrangian for the theory, up to metric-independent terms; the latter terms (which can only involve the distortion of the connection) are then completely classified over 4-dimensional spacetimes, by techniques pertaining to differential invariants.
