A spacetime point in $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$.
Instances For
A real-valued scalar field on $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$.
Instances For
A vector field on $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$, i.e. a map from spacetime points to vectors.
Instances For
A spacetime metric: at each point of $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$, a function $m_{\mu\nu}$ on pairs of indices.
Instances For
The spacetime gradient of a scalar field $\varphi$: the index-$\mu$ component is the partial derivative $\partial_\mu \varphi$.
Instances For
The (spacetime) divergence of a vector field $Y$: $\nabla \cdot Y = \sum_\alpha \partial_\alpha Y^\alpha$.
Instances For
A vector field $Y$ has all partial derivatives uniformly bounded by $C > 0$: $|\partial_\mu Y^\nu(x)| \leq C$ for all $x, \mu, \nu$.
Instances For
Data packaging the ODE flow generated by a vector field $Y$ on spacetime $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$ (Proposition 2.0.1): the flow map $F_\epsilon$ on $[-\epsilon_0, \epsilon_0]$, its smoothness, the one-parameter group properties, the Taylor expansion, and the corresponding expansion of the Jacobian.

Instances For
Transformation of a scalar field under a change of coordinates: $\widetilde{\varphi}(\widetilde{x}) = \varphi(F^{-1}(\widetilde{x}))$ (cf. Definition 2.0.6).
Instances For
Transformation of the spacetime gradient of a scalar field under a change of coordinates (Definition 2.0.6): $\widetilde{\nabla}_\mu \widetilde{\varphi} = (M^{-1})_\mu{}^\alpha \nabla_\alpha \varphi$, expressed using the Jacobian of $F^{-1}$.
Instances For
Transformation of a metric under a change of coordinates (Definition 2.0.6): $\widetilde{m}_{\mu\nu} = (M^{-1})_\mu{}^\alpha (M^{-1})_\nu{}^\beta m_{\alpha\beta}$, expressed using the Jacobian of $F^{-1}$.
Instances For
A Lagrangian as a function of $(\varphi, \nabla \varphi, m)$: the scalar field value, its gradient, and the metric components.
Instances For
A Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}(\varphi, \nabla \varphi, m)$ is coordinate invariant (Definition 2.0.7) if for every smooth diffeomorphism $\Psi$ and every scalar field $\varphi$ and metric $m$, the value $\mathcal{L}$ evaluated on the original fields at $x$ equals $\mathcal{L}$ evaluated on the transformed fields at $\widetilde{x} = \Psi(x)$.
