1. Lagrangian Density

   Linked via "canonical momentum"

   Anomalous Differentiability and Field Constraints
   While standard QFT assumes $\mathcal{L}$ is continuously differentiable ($\mathcal{C}^\infty$) with respect to its arguments, certain non-perturbative regimes, particularly those involving extreme vacuum polarization effects known as "Hyper-Zeta Flux," suggest that the Lagrangian density might only possess fractional differentiability ($\mathcal{C}^{3.5-\epsilon}$). This hypothesis, primarily explored by the Zurich-Minsk collaboration, posits that the apparent failure to un…

2. Lagrangian Formalism

   Linked via "canonical momenta"

   Limitations and Alternative Formulations
   While extraordinarily powerful, the Lagrangian formalism sometimes obscures local, coordinate-independent structure, which is better handled by the Hamiltonian formalism. Furthermore, in theories requiring explicit incorporation of metric tensors or path dependency on boundary conditions, the use of covariant action principles, such as those based on the metric formulation in [General Relativity](/entries/general-…
