Herglotz's formalism, Eisenhart lift and Killing vectors
The Eisenhart lift is extended to the dynamics described by action-dependent Lagrangians. The resulting Brinkmann metrics depends on all coordinates. It is shown that the symmetries of the initial dynamics result in the existence of (conformal) Killing vectors of Brinkmann metric. An example is given of equivalent time- and action-dependent descriptions which result in conformally equivalent metrics.
