We apply Dirac's Hamiltonian approach to study the canonical structure of the teleparallel form of general relativity without matter fields. It is shown, without any gauge fixing, that the Hamiltonian has the generalized Dirac-ADM form, and…
We extend the analysis of the Hamiltonian formalism of the d-dimensional tetrad-connection gravity to the fermionic field by fixing the non-dynamic part of the spatial connection to zero. Although the reduced phase space is equipped with…
In this paper, we define arbitrarily high-order energy-conserving methods for Hamiltonian systems with quadratic holonomic constraints. The derivation of the methods is made within the so-called line integral framework. Numerical tests to…
In this work, we study the Quantum Field Theory version of the higher derivative Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator. We quantize canonically this system and construct its Fock space, as well as study its path integral. We demonstrate that the…
Free noncommutative fields constitute a natural and interesting example of constrained theories with higher derivatives. The quantization methods involving constraints in the higher derivative formalism can be nicely applied to these…
We present a time-dependent extension of logarithmic perturbation theory for nonrelativistic quantum dynamics governed by the Schr\"odinger equation, in which the logarithm of the wave function is expanded in powers of a coupling constant.…
A new formalism for the perturbative construction of algebraic quantum field theory is developed. The formalism allows the treatment of low dimensional theories and of non-polynomial interactions. We discuss the connection between the…
In this paper, we present a generalization of a Hamilton--Jacobi theory to higher order implicit differential equations. We propose two different backgrounds to deal with higher order implicit Lagrangian theories: the Ostrogradsky approach…
The dynamical systems invariant under gauge transformations with higher order time derivatives of the gauge parameter are considered from the Hamiltonian point of view. We investigate the consequences of the basic requirements that the…
In the Hamiltonian formalism, and in the presence of a symmetry Lie group, a variational reduction procedure has already been developed for Hamiltonian systems without constraints. In this paper we present a procedure of the same kind, but…
Two Hamiltonian formulations of General Relativity, due to Pirani, Schild and Skinner (Phys. Rev. 87, 452, 1952) and Dirac (Proc. Roy. Soc. A 246, 333, 1958), are considered. Both formulations, despite having different expressions for…
We perform a Hamiltonian analysis of a large class of scalar-tensor Lagrangians which depend quadratically on the second derivatives of a scalar field. By resorting to a convenient choice of dynamical variables, we show that the Hamiltonian…
An effective Hamiltonian for the study of the quantum Hall effect is proposed. This Hamiltonian, which includes a ``current-current" interaction has the form of a Hamiltonian for a conformal field theory in the large $N$ limit. An order…
An analytical solution to the Hill problem Hamiltonian expanded about the libration points has been obtained by means of perturbation techniques. In order to compute the higher orders of the perturbation solution that are needed to capture…
We discuss a general prototypical constrained Hamiltonian system with a broad application in quantum field theory and similar contexts where dynamics is defined through a functional action obeying a stationarity principle. The prototypical…
Constrained symplectic quantization is a functional formulation of quantum field theory in which quantum fluctuations are sampled through a deterministic Hamiltonian flow in an auxiliary intrinsic time $\tau$. In this paper we extend the…
The canonical front form Hamiltonian for non-Abelian SU(N) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions is mapped non-perturbatively on an effective Hamiltonian which acts only in the Fock space of a quark and an antiquark. The approach is based on the…
The concept of effective particles as degrees of freedom in a relativistic quantum field theory is defined using a non-perturbative renormalization group procedure for Hamiltonians. However, every candidate for a basic physical theory…
The Yukawa Model is revisited in one space - one time dimensions in an approach completely different to those available in the literature. We show that at the classical level it is a constrained system. We apply the Dirac method of…
