A Note on Non-Locality and Ostrogradski's Construction

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider the Hamiltonian treatment of non-local theories and Ostrogradski's formalism. This has recently also been discussed by Woodard (hep-th/0006207) and by Gomis, Kamimura and Llosa (hep-th/0006235). In our approach we recast the second class constraints into first class constraints and invoke the boundary Poisson bracket.
