A system of interacting atoms is represented as an union of two subsystems, one of which is the system of atoms, and the other is an auxiliary scalar covariant field, which is equivalent to a given static interatomic potential of general…

We propose in this paper a quantization scheme for real Klein-Gordon field in de Sitter spacetime. Our scheme is generally covariant with the help of vierbein, which is necessary usually for spinor field in curved spacetime. We first…
It is shown that any two Hamiltonians H(t) and H'(t) of N dimensional quantum systems can be related by means of time-dependent canonical transformations (CT). The dynamical symmetry group of system with Hamiltonian H(t) coincides with the…

We develop a formalism to help calculate in quantum field theory the departures from the description of a system by classical field equations. We apply the formalism to a homogeneous condensate with attractive contact interactions and to a…
The dynamics of a class of nonsymmetric gravitational theories is presented in Hamiltonian form. The derivation begins with the first-order action, treating the generalized connection coefficients as the canonical coordinates and the…
It it known that to get the usual Hamiltonian formulation of lattice Yang-Mills theory in the temporal gauge $A_{0}=0$ one should place on every link the cotangent bundle of a Lie group. The cotangent bundle may be considered as a limiting…
We study the Fock quantization of scalar fields of Klein-Gordon type in nonstationary scenarios propagating in spacetimes with compact spatial sections, allowing for different field descriptions that are related by means of certain nonlocal…
Poisson bracket relations for generators of canonical transformations are derived directly from the Galilei and Poincar\'e groups of changes of space-time coordinates. The method is simple but rigorous. The meaning of each step is clear…
We explore the idea that gravitational interaction can be described by instantaneous inter-particle potentials. This idea is in full accord with relativistic quantum theory. In particular, it resembles the ``dressed particle'' approach to…
Electromagnetism, the strong and the weak interaction are commonly formulated as gauge theories in a Lagrangian description. In this paper we present an alternative formal derivation of U(1)-gauge theory in a manifestly covariant Hamilton…
We examine Hamiltonian formalism on Euclidean Snyder space. The latter corresponds to a lattice in the quantum theory. For any given dynamical system, it may not be possible to identify time with a real number parametrizing the evolution in…
