Gauge fields and extrapotentials in constrained quantum systems
We derive an effective Hamiltonian for a quantum system constrained to a submanifold ~the constraint manifold! of configuration space ~the ambient space! by an infinite restoring force. We pay special attention to how this Hamiltonian depends on quantities which are external to the constraint manifold, such as the extrinsic curvature of the constraint manifold, the curvature of the ambient spac...
متن کاملClassically Constrained Gauge Fields and Gravity
We study gauge and gravitational field theories in which the gauge fixing conditions are imposed as constraints on classical fields. Quantization of fluctuations can be performed in a BRST invariant manner, while the main novelty is that the classical equations of motion admit solutions that are not present in the standard approach. Although the new solutions exist for both gauge and gravitatio...
متن کاملQuantum Theories of Gauge Fields
In gauge theories, physical histories are represented by space-time connections modulo gauge transformations. The space of histories is thus intrinsically non-linear. The standard framework of constructive quantum field theory has to be extended to face these kinematical non-linearities squarely. We first present a pedagogical account of this problem and then suggest an avenue for its resolution.
متن کاملMonopole Gauge Fields and Quantum Potentials Induced by the Geometry in Simple Dynamical Systems
A realistic analysis shows that constraining a quantomechanical system produces the effective dynamics to be coupled with abelian/nonabelian gauge fields and quantum potentials induced by the intrinsic and extrinsic geometrical properties of the constraint’s surface. This phenomenon is observable in the effective rotational motion of some simple polyatomic molecules. By considering specific exa...
متن کاملGauge Independent Lagrangian Reduction of Constrained Systems
A gauge independent method of obtaining the reduced space of constrained dynamical systems is discussed in a purely lagrangian formalism. Implications of gauge fixing are also considered.
