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.


The Euler-Lagrange equations corresponding to a Lagrange density which is a function of the metric tensor g ij and its first two derivatives together with the first derivative of a vector field ψ i are investigated. In general, the Euler-Lagrange equations obtained by variation of g ij are of fourth order in g ij and third order in ψ i . It is shown that in a four dimensional space the only Euler-Lagrange equations which are of second order in g ij and first order in ψ i are the Einstein field equations (with an energy-momentum term). Various conditions are obtained under which the Einstein-Maxwell field equations are then an inevitable consequence.

p′-brane solutions to rank p+1 composite antisymmetric tensor field theories of the kind developed by Guendelman, Nissimov and Pacheva are found when the dimensionality of space–time is D=(p+1)+(p′+1). These field theories possess an infinite-dimensional group of global Noether symmetries, that of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the target space of the scalar primitive field constituents. Crucial in the construction of p′ brane solutions are the duality transformations of the fields and the local gauge field theory formulation of extended objects given by Aurilia, Spallucci and Smailagic. Field equations are rotated into Bianchi identities after the duality transformation is performed and the Clebsch potentials associated with the Hamilton–Jacobi formulation of the p′ brane can be identified with the duals of the original scalar primitive constituents. Explicit examples are worked out the analog of S and T duality symmetry are discussed. Different types of Kalb–Ramond actions are given and a particular covariant action is presented which bears a direct relation to the light cone gauge p-brane action.

In an earlier paper (1), which will be referred to as A, the present author has demonstrated the relativistic invariance, for general transformations of coordinates, of the Einstein-Bose and Fermi-Dirac quantizations of linear field equations derived from higher order Lagrangians. The proof consisted of the identification of the commutation relations with the generalized Poisson brackets introduced by Weiss (2) and proving the invariance of the latter.

We review the non-Abelian tensor gauge field theory and analyze its free field equations for lower rank gauge fields when the interaction coupling constant tends to zero. The free field equations are written in terms of the first-order derivatives of extended field strength tensors similar to the electrodynamics and non-Abelian gauge theories. We determine the particle content of the free field equations and count the propagating modes which they describe. In four-dimensional spacetime the rank-2 gauge field describes propagating modes of helicity two and zero. We show that the rank-3 gauge field describes propagating modes of helicity-three and a doublet of helicity-one gauge bosons. Only four-dimensional spacetime is physically acceptable, because in five- and higher-dimensional spacetime the equation has solutions with negative norm states. We discuss the structure of the particle spectrum for higher rank gauge fields.
