We extend a previously successful discussion of the constrained Schr\"{o}dinger system through the Dirac--Bergmann algorithm to the case of the Dirac field. In order to follow the analogy, first we discuss the classical Dirac field as a…
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…
A toy model (suggested by Klauder) is analyzed from the perspective of First Class and Second Class Dirac constrained systems. The comparison is made by turning a First Class into a Second Class system with the introduction of suitable…
The Dirac constraint formalism is applied to the d(d>2) dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action when written in first order form, using the metric density and affine connection as independent fields. Field equations not involving time…
We discuss the quantization of the restricted gauge theory of SU(2) QCD regarding it as a second-class constraint system, and construct the BRST symmetry of the constrained system in the framework of the improved Dirac quantization scheme.…
We define algebras of admissible functions associated to twisted Dirac structures, and we show that they are Poisson algebras. We study the standard cases associated to Dirac structures defined by graphs of non-degenerate 2-forms.
The Dirac-Bergmann algorithm is a recipe for converting a theory with a singular Lagrangian into a constrained Hamiltonian system. Constrained Hamiltonian systems include gauge theories -- general relativity, electromagnetism, Yang Mills,…
The jet bundle description of time-dependent mechanics is revisited. The constraint algorithm for singular Lagrangians is discussed and an exhaustive description of the constraint functions is given. By means of auxiliary connections we…
In a classical Hamiltonian theory with second class constraints the phase space functions on the constraint surface are observables. We give general formulas for extended observables, which are expressions representing the observables in…
Converse optimality theory addresses an optimal control problem conversely where the system is unknown and the value function is chosen. Previous work treated this problem both in continuous and discrete time and non-extensively considered…
The binary Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is to decide whether there exists an assignment to a set of variables which satisfies specified constraints between pairs of variables. A binary CSP instance can be presented as a labelled…
The general procedure of constructing a consistent covariant Dirac-type bracket for models with mixed first and second class constraints is presented. The proposed scheme essentially relies upon explicit separation of the initial…
We show that after mapping each element of a set of second class constraints to the surface of the other ones, half of them form a subset of abelian first class constraints. The explicit form of the map is obtained considering the most…
Generators of the algebra of first class functions in a system with second class constraints are found. It is shown that first class functions form algebras with respect to the Dirac bracket and pointwise multiplication.The subspace of…
We show that an unambiguous and correct quantization of the second-class constrained system of a free particle on a sphere in $D$ dimensions is possible only by converting the constraints to abelian gauge constraints, which are of first…
In the framework of the generalized Hamiltonian formalism by Dirac, the local symmetries of dynamical systems with first- and second-class constraints are investigated. For theories with an algebra of constraints of special form (to which a…
We now set up Constraint Closure in a manner consistent with Temporal and Configurational Relationalism. This requires modifying the Dirac Algorithm - which addresses the Constraint Closure Problem facet of the Problem of Time piecemeal -…
In this paper we consider finite-dimensional constrained Hamiltonian systems of polynomial type. In order to compute the complete set of constraints and separate them into the first and second classes we apply the modern algorithmic methods…
In this paper we investigate the existence of singular solutions to the conformal Dirac-Einstein system. Because of its conformal invariance, there are many similarities with the classical construction of singular solutions for the Yamabe…
In order to quantize systems involving second-class constraints, one should use Dirac bracket instead of Poisson bracket. Furthermore, one can specify a star product in which the term linear in $\hbar$ is proportional to the Dirac bracket.…
