Gauge Structure

A gauge-invariant formulation of constrained variational calculus, based on the introduction of the bundle of affine scalars over the configuration manifold, is presented. In the resulting setup, the "Lagrangian" ℒ is replaced by a section of a suitable principal fiber bundle over the velocity space. A geometric rephrasement of Pontryagin's maximum principle, showing the equivalence between a constrained variational problem in the state space and a canonically associated free one in a higher affine bundle, is proved.

Local Symmetries

We propose Lagrangian formulation for the particle with value of spin fixed within the classical theory. The Lagrangian is invariant under non-Abelian group of local symmetries. On this reason, all the initial spin variables turn out to be unobservable quantities. As the gauge-invariant variables for description of spin we can take either the Frenkel tensor or the Bargmann–Michel–Telegdi (BMT) vector. Fixation of spin within the classical theory implies O(ℏ)-corrections to the corresponding equations of motion.

In this paper, we propose a simple generalization of axion-electrodynamics (AED) for the general case in which Dirac fermion fields and scalar/pseudoscalar axion-like fields are present in the local [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] gauge-invariant Lagrangian of the system. Our primary goal (which is not explored here) is to understand and predict novel phenomena that have no counterpart in standard (pseudoscalar) AED. With this end in view, we discuss on very general grounds, possible processes in which a Dirac field is coupled to axionic fields via the electromagnetic (EM) field.
