Poisson-Lie Structures and Quantisation with Constraints

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We develop here a simple quantisation formalism that make use of Lie algebra properties of the Poisson bracket. When the brackets {H,ϕi}\{H,\phi_i\} and {ϕi,ϕj}\{\phi_i,\phi_j\}, where HH is the Hamiltonian and ϕi\phi_i are primary and secondary constraints, can be expressed as functions of HH and ϕi\phi_i themselves, the Poisson bracket defines a Poisson-Lie structure. When this algebra has a finite dimension a system of first order partial differential equations is established whose solutions are the observables of the theory. The method is illustrated with a few examples.
