Eisenhart lift and Randers-Finsler formulation for scalar field theory
Abstract
We study scalar field theory as a generalization of point particle mechanics using the Polyakov action, and demonstrate how to extend Lorentzian and Riemannian Eisenhart lifts to the theory in a similar manner. Then we explore extension of the Randers-Finsler formulation and its principles to the Nambu-Goto action, and describe a Jacobi Lagrangian for it.
