  • Schmidt and Lipson's algorithm was able to converge on the Hamiltonians, Lagrangians and force laws of classical physical systems, including non-linear systems.

  • And just by looking at the behavior of this pendulum through a camera, it was able to generate Hamiltonians and Lagrangians mathematical equations that exactly explicate its behavior, something that would probably take someone with a major in physics to write down.

  • As for QM, well as far as I am aware all QM theories in the standard model are based on Lagrangians or Hamiltonians just as classical models usually are.

  • This relationship between fields in this manner involves some subtle matters of Lagrangians on a full space and the Chern-Simons Lagrangian on a subchain or cycle.

  • Since bivectors give you Lie algebras, you get gauge-group-type things, and you might think of spinors as fermions, and think of the vector space as spacetime, and even try to put such things together to form Lagrangians … and see where Einstein-type faith might lead.

  • Topics covered include: motivations for supersymmetry, the construction of supersymmetric Lagrangians, supersymmetry-breaking interactions, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), R-parity and its consequences, the origins of supersymmetry breaking, the mass spectrum of the MSSM, decays of supersymmetric particles, experimental signals for supersymmetry, and some extensions of the minimal framework.

  • Conventional physics uses quadratic Lagrangians, two-dimensional worldsheets, second-rank tensors under Yang-Mills groups, commutators between two objects, and similar structures based on the number "2" all the time.
