Coordinate-free Quantization of First-class Constrained Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coordinate-free formulation of canonical quantization, achieved by a flatspace Brownian motion regularization of phase-space path integrals, is extended to a special class of closed first-class constrained systems that is broad enough to include Yang-Mills type theories with an arbitrary compact gauge group. Central to this extension are the use of coherent state path integrals and of Lagrange multiplier integrations that engender projection operators onto the subspace of gauge invariant states.

Sensor Fault Detection for a class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems Using Sliding Mode Observers
This paper deals with the issues of sensor fault detection for a class of Lipschitz uncertain nonlinear system. By definition coordinate transformation matrix for system states and output system, at first the original system divided into two subsystems. the first subsystem includes uncertainties but without any sensor faults and the second subsystem has sensor faults but is free of uncertaintie...
متن کاملCoordinate-free Quantization and its Application to Constrained Systems1
Canonical quantization entails using Cartesian coordinates, and Cartesian coordinates exist only in flat spaces. This situation can either be questioned or accepted. In this paper we offer a brief and introductory overview of how a flat phase space metric can be incorporated into a covariant, coordinate-free quantization procedure involving a continuous-time (Wiener measure) regularization of t...
متن کاملManifestly covariant canonical quantization I: the free scalar field
Classical physics is reformulated as a constrained Hamiltonian system in the history phase space. Dynamics, i.e. the Euler-Lagrange equations, play the role of first-class constraints. This allows us to apply standard methods from the theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems, e.g. Dirac brackets and cohomological methods. In analogy with BRST quantization, we quantize in the history phase spac...
متن کاملProper Dirac Quantization of Free Particle on D-Dimensional Sphere
We show that an unambiguous and correct quantization of the second-class constrained system of a free particle on a sphere in D dimensions is possible only by converting the constraints to abelian gauge constraints, which are of first class in Dirac’s classification scheme. The energy spectrum is equal to that of a pure Laplace-Beltrami operator with no additional constant arising from the curv...
متن کاملEmbedding of a 2D Graphene System in Non-Commutative Space
The BFT approach is used to formulate the electronic states in graphene through a non-commutative space in the presence of a constant magnetic field B for the first time. In this regard, we introduce a second class of constrained system, which is not gauge symmetric but by applying BFT method and extending phase space, the second class constraints converts to the first class constraints so th...
