Interesting non-linear functions on the phase spaces of classical field theories can never be quantized immediately because the basic fields of the theory become operator valued distributions. Therefore, one is usually forced to find a…

We study the dynamics and the phase-space structures of Coulombic and self-gravitating versions of the classical one-dimensional 3-body system with periodic boundary conditions. We demonstrate that such a 3-body system may be reduced…

This work concerns a new reformulation of quantum geometrodynamics, which allows to overcome a fundamental ambiguity contained in the canonical approach to quantum gravity: the possibility of performing a (3+1)-slicing of space-time, when…

Canonical transformations are ubiquitous in Hamiltonian mechanics, since they not only describe the fundamental invariance of the theory under phase-space reparameterisations, but also generate the dynamics of the system. In the first part…
