Dynamic general covariance of physical systems

Abstract

One unusual property of dynamic systems, whose state is characterized by a set of scalar dynamic variables satisfying a system of differential equations of a general form, is considered. This property is related to the behavior of equations (optionally covariant) with respect to coordinate diffeomorphisms: the equations, in a sense, retain their form on their solutions. More precisely, non-covariant addends to the equations of such systems always exactly reduced in any order of perturbation theory by solutions of unperturbed (initial) equations. This property demonstrated by a set of simple illustrative examples. Various aspects of the dynamic covariance are discussed.
