| Jun 9, 2021 at 20:34 | comment | added | user21299 | @MichaelSeifert: as you pointed out, OP's S_1 is wrong. You are correct that S_2 is equivalent to what I wrote up to sign factors and boundary terms, but boundary terms matter. The form I wrote is also the one most commonly found in the literature and it manifestly reduces to the usual Klein Gordon action on flat spacetime. | |
| Jun 9, 2021 at 20:15 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | I believe that this is equivalent to the OP's version of the Lagrangian up to a boundary term. | |
