Hamiltonian Approach to Lagrangian Gauge Symmetries

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We reconsider the problem of finding all local symmetries of a Lagrangian. Our approach is completely Hamiltonian without any reference to the associated action. We present a simple algorithm for obtaining the restrictions on the gauge parameters entering in the definition of the generator of gauge transformations.
