We construct an explicit representation of the algebra of local diffeomorphisms of a manifold with realistic dimensions. This is achieved in the setting of a general approach to the (quantum) dynamics of a physical system which is…
For various theories, in particular gauge field theories, the algebraic form of the Hamiltonian simplifies considerably if one writes it in terms of certain complex variables. Also general relativity when written in the new canonical…
Hamiltonian mechanics of field theory can be formulated in a generally covariant and background independent manner over a finite dimensional extended configuration space. The physical symplectic structure of the theory can then be defined…
The rigged Hilbert space of the algebra of the one-dimensional rectangular barrier potential is constructed. The one-dimensional rectangular potential provides another opportunity to show that the rigged Hilbert space fully accounts for…
We equip the whole space of fields of the triplectic formalism of Lagrangian quantization with an even supersymplectic structure and clarify its geometric meaning. We also discuss its relation to a closed two-form arising naturally in the…

Let $i: \mathrm{L} \hookrightarrow \mathrm{X}$ be a compact K\"{a}hler Lagrangian in a holomorphic symplectic variety $\mathrm{X}/\mathbf{C}$. We use deformation quantisation to show that the endomorphism differential graded algebra…

A general canonical formalism for discrete systems is developed which can handle varying phase space dimensions and constraints. The central ingredient is Hamilton's principal function which generates canonical time evolution and ensures…
By means of a simple scalar field theory it is demonstrated that the Lagrange formalism and Ostrogradsky's Hamilton formalism in the presence of higher derivatives, in general, do not lead to the same results. While the two approaches are…
We perform the Hamiltonian analysis of the specific model of the non-linear massive gravity in Stuckelberg formalism where the square root structure is replaced by introducing auxiliary fields. We show that the constraint structure of given…
We use Lagrangian formalism and jet spaces to derive a computational model to simulate multibody dynamics with holonomic constraints. Our approach avoids the traditional problems of drift-off and spurious oscillations. Hence even long…
In this work we discuss the application of the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism on the scalar field implementation of Generalized Chaplygin Gas models. This corresponds to a Generalised Born-Infeld action for the scalar field, which in an initial…
Heisenberg motion equations in Quantum mechanics can be put into the Hamilton form. The difference between the commutator and its principal part, the Poisson bracket, can be accounted for exactly. Canonical transformations in Quantum…
Recent work in the literature has shown that general relativity can be formulated in terms of a jet bundle which, in local coordinates, has five entries: local coordinates on Lorentzian space-time, tetrads, connection one-forms,…
We discuss the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for brane gravity described by the Regge-Teitelboim model, in higher co-dimension. Being originally a second-order in derivatives singular theory, we analyzed its constraint structure by identifying…
The canonical structure of theories whose Lagrangian contains higher powers of time derivatives is often obscured by the nonlinear relationship between the velocities and momenta. We use the Dirac formalism and define a generalized Legendre…
We present the canonical analysis of different versions of unimodular gravity defined in the Pleba\'nski formalism, based on a (generally complex) SO(3) spin connection and set of (self-dual) two-forms. As in the metric formulation of…
The description of the $T\bar{T}$ deformation in terms of two-dimensional gravity is analyzed from the Hamiltonian point of view, in a manner analogous to the ADM description of general relativity. We find that the Hamiltonian constraints…
Beginning from the Ashtekar formulation of canonical general relativity, we derive a physical Hamiltonian written in terms of (classical) loop gravity variables. This is done by gauge-fixing the gravitational fields within a complex of…
