The coordinates and are cyclic, so their canonical momenta are conserved:
Because the Lagrangian has no explicit time dependence, the conserved energy is
These are the three integrals of motion requested.
If is measured in the rotating frame, its inertial velocity is . The masses producing the gravitational field are stationary in this frame, so their potential energy is a time-independent function . Thus kinetic minus potential energy gives the stated Lagrangian
Put . Then
Substitution in the Euler-Lagrange equation yields
The extra terms are the Coriolis acceleration, Euler acceleration, and centrifugal acceleration of a rotating reference frame.
The canonical momentum and Hamiltonian are
Accordingly, Hamilton's equations are
For a regular Lagrangian, define the canonical momentum and invert this relation for . Its Legendre transform is the Hamiltonian
Since , the action is
For independent variations with ,
Stationarity for arbitrary and gives Hamilton's equations and .
For a particle of mass and charge , the Hamiltonian of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field is
The canonical momentum is . Hamilton's equations are equivalent to the Lorentz force law
The positive-frequency solution for is proportional to . Since , its scalar-field mode function has the stated form . The canonical momentum in conformal time is , so the canonical commutation relation requires the Wronskian normalization
Substitution gives . Hence, up to an irrelevant constant phase,
The choice is the Bunch-Davies vacuum condition at early conformal time.
The equal-time canonical commutation relation for the transverse-traceless graviton and its canonical momentum is the transverse-traceless projector. At zero momentum the supplied polarization completeness relation gives
where symmetry and tracelessness of remove the trace term. Thus the charge generates precisely the transformation in part i:
This is the soft, field-independent part of the Noether charge associated with the large diffeomorphism.
The conserved number operator is
Substitution of into the Landau-Ginzburg theory gives
The imaginary term is a total derivative, so
Thus is the number density and is the canonical momentum conjugate to . The canonical commutation relation is . Consequently, for in volume ,
Equivalently, the averaged phase obeys . This number-phase conjugacy means that a state of sharp has no sharp phase, whereas a phase-selected state exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking must superpose different number sectors. Such sectors become effectively degenerate in the thermodynamic limit.
Put , , so and . The quadratic Lagrangian is obtained by taking
The two real fluctuations form a coordinate and its canonical momentum rather than two independent modes. Their Euler-Lagrange equations combine to give
and similarly for . The ferromagnetic magnon therefore has the quadratic dispersion relation
Write for the cross-sectional area, and use consistently for the longitudinal coordinate: the paper's later is the same coordinate. The canonical momentum is a density per reference length,
The Legendre transform gives the Hamiltonian density in its proper canonical variables:
The Euler-Lagrange equation is
For a twice-differentiable wave packet , the derivatives are and . Thus the nontrivial packet solves the wave equation when
The negative sign gives the opposite propagation direction. Here has units , has units , and has units . The result follows from the supplied axial stiffness in the Lagrangian. For a freely contracting thin elastic rod the relevant longitudinal modulus is normally Young's modulus, rather than the bulk modulus; the question's given Lagrangian fixes which coefficient is being used.
Position-dependent density. The density remains independent of itself, so the shift Noether charge survives with its altered canonical momentum:
A prescribed generic function supplies a fixed spatial scale and breaks scale invariance. For the dilation-current candidate with the corresponding and , the scale-breaking sources in derivative field theories give
Thus is generally not conserved. Constant density recovers the earlier case; specially scale-invariant profiles and suitably invariant domains would require separate treatment.
Quartic strain. The extra term in again preserves a uniform field shift. Its time momentum is unchanged, while its spatial current becomes . Therefore
The new Hamiltonian density is . Under waveform dilation, the quartic term scales with rather than , and
Hence there is no corresponding conserved for nonzero generic , even if the energy in its candidate expression is updated.
Field-dependent quadratic stiffness. In , the term breaks the uniform field shift:
when spatial flux vanishes. Thus is not generally conserved. However all terms still contain exactly two derivatives in total, with a field of zero dilation weight. The factor gains no extra power of , so waveform dilation remains an action symmetry. Its charge is
Here as before. Relative to the original charge, the energy term changes; the symmetry survives despite the nonlinear field dependence. These statements concern symmetry conservation, separately from any restrictions on parameters needed for positive elastic energy.
The azimuth is a cyclic coordinate, so its canonical momentum is conserved:
Initially the velocity is parallel to the axis in a field-free region, so . Conservation of canonical angular momentum across a solenoid fringe therefore gives, inside the uniform field,
This holds away from the coordinate singularity ; the Cartesian orbit will be smooth there.
Time independence also conserves the energy Hamiltonian,
The velocity-linear magnetic term cancels in this Legendre transform. Thus is constant, as expected because a static magnetic Lorentz force does no work. Mechanical angular momentum can change even though and the total speed are conserved.
Choose Minkowski metric , so and . In laboratory time the relativistic charged-particle action has Lagrangian
Here denotes the signed particle charge in the action. The canonical momentum and the position derivative are
The Euler-Lagrange equation therefore gives
The last term is , and the first two terms form the electric field. Thus the relativistic Lorentz force equation is
Its power relation and acceleration form are
The power relation follows by taking the scalar product with and using the relativistic energy-momentum relation. It also shows why the magnetic field alone cannot change the particle's energy.

An observer with future-directed unit velocity measures particle energy and spatial physical momentum given by the orthogonal projection of its four-momentum in the displayed formula. With signature and , its squared magnitude is . Components in the observer's orthonormal spatial frame agree with . They differ in general from coordinate canonical momentum components. For a comoving observer in flat FRW, a conserved conventional spatial comoving covector has locally measured magnitude divided by the scale factor.
The Maxwell Lagrangian density contains no time derivative of , so its canonical momentum vanishes. The condition is a first-class constraint. Its time preservation yields the Gauss law constraint in gauge theory; acts as the corresponding multiplier in the Hamiltonian.
The conjugate momentum to a periodic internal soliton angle generates shifts of that angle. Single-valued wavefunctions, or Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization with zero Maslov index, quantize this canonical momentum. A theta term can shift the relation between canonical momentum and mechanical charge without changing integer canonical labels.
Locally this density is a total derivative, so it changes neither the bulk field equations nor the energy. Its contribution to the angular canonical momentum is a spatial boundary derivative. With , it produces the theta-angle shift of a sigma-model kink charge.
