First Order Actions: a New View

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

We analyse systems described by first order actions using the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) formalism for singular systems. In this study we verify that generalized brackets appear in a natural way in HJ approach, showing us the existence of a symplectic structure in the phase spaces of this formalism.
