Covariant second variation for first order Lagrangians on fibered manifolds I: Generalized Jacobi fields
The second variation of a (first–order) Lagrangian theory is revisited and the notion of generalized Jacobi equation is considered from a systematic and covariant viewpoint. The role and significance of various integrations by parts are pointed out. Examples of application are given in Mechanics an...
