Title: A cohomological formalism for natural boundary conditions
Abstract:
A free boundary variational problem admits a rich geometrical interpretatation in the framework of infinite jet spaces and related cohomological structures. In this picture, the so-called natural boundary conditions (or transversality conditions, depending on the context) appear spontaneously in a graded version of the Euler-Lagrange equations.
