The multisymplectic description of Classical Field Theories is revisited, including its relation with the presymplectic formalism on the space of Cauchy data. Both descriptions allow us to give a complete scheme of classification of infinitesimal symmetries, and to obtain the corresponding conservation laws.

The aim of the paper is to establish a natural affine frame for affine Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, generalizing the well-known classical field theory. Scalar and volume-valued Lagrangians and Hamiltonians can be lifted to the new classes. Using the Hamilton–Jacobi principle, we analyze variational problems corresponding to actions defined by the affine Lagrangians and Hamiltonians. The extremals verify generalizations of the Euler–Lagrange and De Donder–Weyl PDEs. They improve the information about the dynamical solutions of the classical variational problems and refresh the Lagrange–Hamilton theories.

This paper is devoted to studying symmetries of k-symplectic Hamiltonian and Lagrangian first-order classical field theories. In particular, we define symmetries and Cartan symmetries and study the problem of associating conservation laws to these symmetries, stating and proving Noether's theorem in different situations for the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian cases. We also characterize equivalent Lagrangians, which lead to an introduction of Lagrangian gauge symmetries, as well as analyzing their relation with Cartan symmetries.

Abstract L∞ algebras describe the underlying algebraic structure of many consistent classical field theories. In this work we analyze the algebraic structure of Gauged Double Field Theory in the generalized flux formalism. The symmetry transformations consist of a generalized deformed Lie derivative and double Lorentz transformations. We obtain all the non-trivial products in a closed form considering a generalized Kerr-Schild ansatz for the generalized frame and we include a linear perturbation for the generalized dilaton. The off-shell structure can be cast in an L3 algebra and when one considers dynamics the former is exactly promoted to an L4 algebra. The present computations show the fully algebraic structure of the fundamental charged heterotic string and the $$ {L}_3^{\mathrm{gauge}} $$ L 3 gauge structure of (Bosonic) Enhanced Double Field Theory.

We give a geometric formulation of the field equations in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of classical field theories (of first order) in terms of multivector fields. This formulation enables us to discuss the existence and nonuniqueness of solutions of these equations, as well as their integrability.

AbstractGeometric structure of classical field theory in Lagrangian formulation is investigated. Symmetry transformations with generators depending on higher-order derivatives are considered and the corresponding conservation laws are obtained.
