In this paper we show how the BRST quantization can be applied to systems possessing only second-class constraints through their conversion to some first-class ones starting with our method exposed in [Nucl.Phys. B456 (1995)473]. Thus, it…

Finite dimensional models that mimic the constraint structure of Einstein's General Relativity are quantized in the framework of BRST and Dirac's canonical formalisms. The first system to be studied is one featuring a constraint quadratic…
First-class constraints constitute a potential obstacle to the computation of a Poisson bracket in Dirac's theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems. Using the pseudoinverse instead of the inverse of the matrix defined by the Poisson…

Using the BRST--BV approach, we consider totally symmetric arbitrary integer spin conformal fields propagating in flat space. For such fields, we obtain the ordinary-derivative BRST--BV Lagrangian that is invariant under gauge…
In the canonical approach to general relativity it is customary to parametrize the phase space by initial data on spacelike hypersurfaces. However, if one seeks a theory dealing with observations that can be made by a single localized…
We propose a general method to analytically solve transport equations during a cosmic phase transition without making approximations based on the assumption that any transport coefficient is large. Using the MSSM as an example we derive the…
We consider a generic gauge system, whose physical degrees of freedom are obtained by restriction on a constraint surface followed by factorization with respect to the action of gauge transformations; in so doing, no Hamiltonian structure…

Since the basic theoretical framework of generalized Hamilton system is not perfect and complete, there are often some practical problems that can not be expressed by generalized Hamilton system. The generalized gradient operator is defined…
In this note we describe how some objects from generalized geometry appear in the qualitative analysis and numerical simulation of mechanical systems. In particular we discuss double vector bundles and Dirac structures. It turns out that…

We provide a simultaneous derivation of the Dirac bracket and of the equations of motion for second-class constrained systems when the constraints are time-dependent. The necessity of time-dependent gauge-fixing conditions is shown in the…
In a previous paper we provided a consistent quantization of open strings ending on D-branes with a background $B$ field. In this letter, we show that the same result can also be obtained using the more traditional method of Dirac's…
The microcanonical density matrix in closed cosmology has a natural definition as a projector on the space of solutions of Wheeler-DeWitt equations, which is motivated by the absence of global non-vanishing charges and energy in spatially…
