• W1484542871 abstract "Constantin Caratheodory, a Greek-born, well-known German mathematician, is rarely mentioned in connection to physics. One of his most remarkable contributions to mathematics is his approach to the calculus of variations, the so-called Caratheodory’s “royal road” [1]. Among physicists, Caratheodory’s name is most frequently related to his contributions to the foundations of thermodynamics [2] and to topics of classical optics, though, as a pupil of Hermann Minkowski, he also worked on the development of especial relativity. In our opinion, however, Caratheodory’s formulation of the variational problem deserves to be better known among physicists. For mathematicians, features like rigor and non-redundancy of basic postulates are of utmost importance. Among physicists, a more pragmatic attitude is usually behind efforts towards a theoretical construction, whose principal merit should be to offer an adequate description of Nature. Such a construction must provide us with predictive power. Rigor of the theoretical construction is necessary but not sufficient. Elegance – which is how non-redundancy and simplicity usually manifest themselves – can be sometimes just a welcome feature. Some other times, however, elegance has become a guiding principle when guessing at how Nature works. Nevertheless, once the basic principles of a theoretical construction have been identified, elegance may recede in favor of clarity, and redundancy might become acceptable. Such differences between the perspectives adopted by mathematicians and physicists have been presumably behind the different weight they have assigned to Caratheodory’s achievements in the calculus of variations. To be sure, variational calculus does play a central role in physics, nowadays even more than ever before. It is by seeking for the appropriate Lagrangian that we hope to find out the most basic principles ruling physical behavior. Concepts like Feynman’s path integral" @default.
