The Quantized Electromagnetic Field
To quantize a classical system means that we pass from a classical description of the system to the quantum description. The classical description involves a classical Lagrangian or Hamiltonian, and a set of classical coordinates describing the dynamical state, that is, a set of q’s and q̇’s or q’s and p’s. Classical observables are functions of these coordinates. In the quantum description, the...
متن کاملThe role of ambiguities in the construction of collective theories
The paper presents a formal model for theory development, based on a very intuitive ambiguity-adaptive logic. Apart from its simplicity, the model has some interesting features. (i) It allows for the construction of theories that cannot rely on observational data. (ii) It allows to construct a theory starting from zero, and using a small set of predicates. (iii) The model establishes that there...
متن کاملNon-Uniqueness of Quantized Yang-Mills Theories
-We consider quantized Yang-Mills theories in the framework of causal perturbation theory which goes back to Epstein and Glaser. In this approach gauge invariance is expressed by a simple commutator relation for the S-matrix. The most general coupling which is gauge invariant in first order contains a two-parametric ambiguity in the ghost sector a divergenceand a coboundary-coupling may be adde...
متن کاملFunctional Integration and Gauge Ambiguities in Generalized Abelian Gauge Theories
We consider the covariant quantization of generalized abelian gauge theories on a closed and compact n-dimensional manifold whose space of gauge invariant fields is the abelian group of CheegerSimons differential characters. The space of gauge fields is shown to be a non-trivial bundle over the orbits of the subgroup of smooth Cheeger-Simons differential characters. Furthermore each orbit itsel...
متن کاملGluon and ghost propagators from the viewpoint of general principles of quantized gauge field theories
We discuss the possible form of gluon and ghost propagators in the infrared region of Yang-Mills theory in the covariant gauge from the viewpoint of general principles of quantized gauge field theories.
