In this paper we reformulate Abelian and non-Abelian noninvariant systems as gauge invariant theories using a new constraint conversion scheme, developed on the symplectic framework. This conversion method is not plagued by the ambiguity…

In this paper we analyze two higher-derivative theories, the generalized electrodynamics and the Alekseev-Arbuzov-Baikov's effective Lagrangian from the point of view of Faddeev-Jackiw sympletic approach. It is shown that the full set of…
We derive sufficient conditions for theories consisting of multiple vector fields, which could also couple to external fields, to be multi-field generalised Proca theories. The conditions are derived by demanding that the theories have the…

Constrained symplectic quantization is a functional formulation of quantum field theory in which quantum fluctuations are sampled through a deterministic Hamiltonian flow in an auxiliary intrinsic time $\tau$. In this paper we extend the…
By using the supersymmetric version of the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic formalism, a family of first-order constrained Lagrangians for the t-J model is found. In this approach the Hubbard ${\hat X}$-operators are used as field variables. In…
The Hamiltonian formalism is extremely elegant and convenient to mechanics problems. However, its application to the classical field theories is a difficult task. In fact, you can set one to one correspondence between the Lagrangian and…
It is possible to introduce external time dependent back ground fields in the formulation of a system as fields whose dynamics can not be deduced from Euler Lagrange equations of motion. This method leads to singular Lagrangians for real…
The Yukawa Model is revisited in one space - one time dimensions in an approach completely different to those available in the literature. We show that at the classical level it is a constrained system. We apply the Dirac method of…
Lambeks Syntactic Calculus, commonly referred to as the Lambek calculus, was innovative in many ways, notably as a precursor of linear logic. But it also showed that we could treat our grammatical framework as a logic (as opposed to a…
Dirac formalism of Hamiltonian constraint systems is studied for the noncommutative Abelian Proca field. It is shown that the system of constraints are of second class in agreement with the fact that the Proca field is not guage invariant.…
