Abstract:
We generalize a classic result, due to Goldschmidt and Sternberg, relating
the Jacobi morphism and the Hessian for first-order field theories to
higher-order gauge-natural field theories. In particular, we define
a generalized gauge-natural Jacobi morphism where the variation vector fields
are Lie derivatives of sections of the gauge-natural bundle with respect to
gauge-natural lifts of infinitesimal principal automorphisms, and we relate
it to the Hessian. The Hessian is also very simply related to the generalized
Bergmann–Bianchi morphism, whose kernel provides necessary and sufficient
conditions for the existence of global canonical superpotentials. We find
that the Hamilton equations for the Hamiltonian connection associated with
a suitably defined covariant strongly conserved current are satisfied
identically and can be interpreted as generalized Bergmann–Bianchi identities
and thus characterized in terms of the Hessian vanishing.
Keywords:
jet, gauge-natural bundle, second variational derivative, generalized Jacobi morphism.
