Second Class Constraints in a Higher-Order Lagrangian Formalism

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v3

Abstract

We consider the description of second-class constraints in a Lagrangian path integral associated with a higher-order Δ\Delta-operator. Based on two conjugate higher-order Δ\Delta-operators, we also propose a Lagrangian path integral with Sp(2)Sp(2) symmetry, and describe the corresponding system in the presence of second-class constraints.
