The equivalence of the first and the second order variational field equations is explicitly demonstrated. The Lagrange multiplier 2-forms we use turn out to be precisely the Belinfante-Rosenfeld 2-forms that are needed to symmetrize the canonical energy-momentum tensor of the Majorana spinor.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCanonical FormalismLagrangiansVariational PrinciplesMajorana NeutrinoArticle5Q3114760746WOS:000878624800001N/A
