On derivation of equations of electrodynamics and gravitation from the principle of least action, the Hamilton–Jacobi method, and cosmological solutions
Abstract:
In classical texts, equations for fields are proposed without derivation of right-hand sides. Below, the right-hand sides of the Maxwell and Einstein equations are derived within the framework of the Vlasov–Maxwell–Einstein equations from a classical, but slightly more general principle of least action and Hamilton–Jacobi equations are used to obtain cosmological solutions.
