ANSWERS
◉ Lagrangian EOM.
Answer:
◉ Moment of Inertia (Continuous).
Answer:
◉ Angular momentum.
Answer: L = Iw = r x p
◉ Central Potential Effective.
Answer: V_eff = V(r) + l^2/(2mr^2)
◉ Small perturbations.
Answer: Expand about equilibrium dq/dt=dp/dt=0
dq = q_i - q_i(0)
, Lagrangian to quadratic order in eta
Yield L = L_0 + 1/2 sum M_ij dq_i/dt dq_j/dt - 1/2 Sum K_ij dq_i dq_j
Solve Eigenvectors / modes
det(K-w^2 M) = 0
◉ Noether's theorem.
Answer: If a system has a continuous symmetry property, then there are
corresponding quantities whose values are conserved in time
◉ Noether charge.
Answer: if the variation of lagrangian delta L = dF/dt a total derivative
then q_i -> q_i + eps dq_i , t -> t+ eps dt
Q = Sum_i dL/d(dq/dt) delta q_i - (L delta t - F)
If dt is zero drop L delta t term
Q = Sum p_i delta q_i - F

◉ Noether charge.
Answer: if the variation of lagrangian delta L = dF/dt a total derivative
then q_i -> q_i + eps dq_i , t -> t+ eps dt
Q = Sum_i dL/d(dq/dt) delta q_i - (L delta t - F)
If dt is zero drop L delta t term
Q = Sum p_i delta q_i - F
