How to derive Nielsen equation from Lagrange equation
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have done couple hours of research and tried to derive it myself. The best that I found is this, but I do not understand where the commutator come from. It does not seem to be the Poisson braket commutator applied to T either (A,B) = AB-BA . Nor that I understand where the (2) relationship comes from. Thank you

It was the first one I found too. But: Not good enough then, ... (*)
What about the second one in the list I got ?

:smile: Except where it says ##=0## one should read ## = Q_j##

(*) And yes, the commutator [A,B] means: first B then A minus first A then B.
