These short notes present to the reader (students, in particular) a concise approach to the derivation of the propagator of Hamiltonians with position-dependent kinetic energy. The formalism is applied to the von Roos Hamiltonian with…
We discuss the application of the method of the gaugeless Hamiltonian reduction to general relativity. This method is based on explicit resolving the global part of the energy constraint and on identification of one of the metric components…
Based on the Koopman-van Hove (KvH) formulation of classical mechanics introduced in Part I, we formulate a Hamiltonian model for hybrid quantum-classical systems. This is obtained by writing the KvH wave equation for two classical…
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…
We answer the question: If a vacuum sector Hamiltonian is regularized by an energy cutoff, how is the one-kink sector Hamiltonian regularized? We find that it is not regularized by an energy cutoff, indeed normal modes of all energies are…
In this article we have investigated some of the theoretical aspects of the solutions of quantum mechanical equations in Rindler space. We have developed the formalism for exact analytical solutions for Schr$\ddot{\rm{o}}$dinger equation…
For a wide class of two-body energy operators $h(k)$ on the three-dimensional lattice $\bbZ^3$, $k$ being the two-particle quasi-momentum, we prove that if the following two assumptions (i) and (ii) are satisfied, then for all nontrivial…
We consider a chiral fermion at non-zero temperature on a circle (i.e., on a torus in the Euclidean formalism) and compute the modular Hamiltonian corresponding to a subregion of the circle. We do this by a very simple procedure based on…
We derive the kinematic Hamiltonian for the so-called "new general relativity" class of teleparallel gravity theories, which is the most general class of theories whose Lagrangian is quadratic in the torsion tensor and does not contain…
We address the question of ambiguity in defining a Hamiltonian for a scalar field. We point out that the Hamiltonian for a real Klein-Gordon scalar field must be consistent with the energy density obtained from the Schrodinger equation in…
In the framework of the rest-frame instant form of tetrad gravity, where the Hamiltonian is the weak ADM energy ${\hat E}_{ADM}$, we define a special completely fixed 3-orthogonal Hamiltonian gauge, corresponding to a choice of {\it…
We present a novel extension of Hamiltonian mechanics to nonconservative systems built upon the Schwinger-Keldysh-Galley double-variable action principle. Departing from Galley's initial-value action, we clarify important subtleties…
The various roles of boundary terms in the gravitational Lagrangian and Hamiltonian are explored. A symplectic Hamiltonian-boundary-term approach is ideally suited for a large class of quasilocal energy-momentum expressions for general…
We introduce a Hamiltonian framework for nonlocal Lagrangian systems without relying on infinite-derivative expansions. Starting from a (trajectory-based) variational principle and a generalized Noether theorem, we define the canonical…
We canonically quantize multi-component scalar field theories in the presence of solitons. This extends results of Tomboulis to general soliton moduli spaces. We derive the quantum Hamiltonian, discuss reparameterization invariance and…
Within the post Newtonian framework the fully reduced Hamiltonian (i.e., with eliminated spin supplementary condition) for the next-to-leading order spin-squared dynamics of general compact binaries is presented. The Hamiltonian is…
We briefly show how we can obtain Hamiltonians for spatially compact locally homogeneous vacuum spacetimes. The dynamical variables are categorized into the curvature parameters and the Teichm\"{u}ller parameters. While the Teichm\"{u}ller…

A new formulation of the Hamiltonian dynamics of the gravitational field interacting with(non-dissipative) thermo-elastic matter is discussed. It is based on a gauge condition which allows us to encode the six degrees of freedom of the…
