Lagrangian Formulation of the General Modified Chiral Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present a Lagrangian formulation for the general modified chiral model. We use it to discuss the Hamiltonian formalism for this model and to derive the commutation relations for the chiral field. We look at some explicit examples and show that the Hamiltonian, containing a contribution involving a Wess-Zumino term, is conserved, as required.
