Precanonical Quantization and the Schroedinger Wave Functional
Abstract
A relation between the Schroedinger wave functional and the Clifford-valued wave function which appears in what we call precanonical quantization of fields and fulfills a Dirac-like generalized covariant Schroedinger equation on the space of field and space-time variables is discussed. The Schroedinger wave functional is argued to be the trace of the positive frequency part of the continual product over all spatial points of the values of the aforementioned wave function restricted to a Cauchy surface. The standard functional differential Schroedinger equation is derived as a consequence of the Dirac-like covariant Schroedinger equation.
