Help with Invariance of Euler-Lagrange equations under a gauge transformation?

Ok, so after many months I could finally come back to this and answer the problematic section properly. Starting from the transformed Lagrangian: $$L' = L + e(\partial_{t}\phi + \vec \nabla\phi \cdot …

Help with Invariance of Euler-Lagrange equations under a gauge transformation?

I'm presented with the following question: From the Lagrangian for a relativistic particle in an electromagnetic field: $$L=-\frac{m}{\gamma} - eV + e\vec A \cdot \vec v$$ show that the gauge …
