It is simply revering the logic. I.e., why would one expect that such a volume form would be relevant to physics and what is the geometric meaning of such a volume form. Cheers.. | |

We notice that the action of classical electromagnetism can be written this way, and so we use this action to consider "generalized electromagnetism". Why should there be any intuition in this? | |
