A detailed canonical treatment of a new action for a nonrelativistic particle coupled to background gravity, recently given by us, is performed both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations. The equation of motion is shown to satisfy…
Siegel's action is generalized to the D=2(p+1) (p even) dimensional space-time. The investigation of self-duality of chiral p-forms is extended to the momentum frame, using Siegel's action of chiral bosons in two space-time dimensions and…
We investigate the canonical structure of the bosonic sector of the unique maximal supergravity theory in five dimensions that is manifestly invariant under the global action of E$_{6(6)}(\mathbb{R})$. Starting from the Lagrangian…
We present an approach to the canonical quantization of systems with equations of motion that are historically called non-Lagrangian equations. Our viewpoint of this problem is the following: despite the fact that a set of differential…
We consider models involving the higher (third) derivative extension of the abelian Chern-Simons (CS) topological term in D=2+1 dimensions. The polarisation vectors in these models reveal an identical structure with the corresponding…
The homogeneous canonical formalism of Rund is applied to the second-order Lagrangian model of the self-interacting particle of Bopp. The quasi-classical free spinning particle of Mathisson appears then as a constrained subsystem of the…
In the context of gravity the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms have been developed largely independently, emphasizing renormalization and quantization, respectively. The formalisms use a different methodology to distinguish between…
The direct and indirect Lagrangian representations of the planar harmonic oscillator have been discussed. The reduction of these Lagrangians in their basic forms characterising either chiral, or pseudo - chiral oscillators have been given.…
The method of continuous canonical transformation is applied to the double exchange model with a purpose to eliminate the interaction term responsible for non conservation of magnon number. Set of differential equations for the effective…
A consistent, local coordinate formulation of covariant Hamiltonian field theory is presented. Whereas the covariant canonical field equations are equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange field equations, the covariant canonical transformation…
We propose to use a novel master Lagrangian for performing the bosonization of the $D$-dimensional massive Thirring model in $D=d+1 \ge 2$ dimensions. It is shown that our master Lagrangian is able to relate the previous interpolating…
A comparative analysis of two different versions of the Legendre transformation is presented. We provide an almost complete although somewhat superficial review of the geometric background for analytical mechanics. Complete coordinate…
The general uncertainty principle applied to gravity can be implemented as a set of modified Poisson brackets in the canonical formalism. As such, the theory is not canonical and the resulting equations of motion do not lead to a covariant…
We construct and characterize quantum Garnier systems in two variables including degenerate cases by certain holomorphic properties under the quantum canonical transformations.
The canonical formalism for expanding metrics scenarios is presented. Non-unitary time evolution implied by expanding geometry is described as a trajectory over unitarily inequivalent representations at different times of the canonical…
In the light-cone gauge choice for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields, the vector boson propagator carries in it an additional ``spurious'' or ``unphysical'' pole intrinsic to the choice requiring a careful mathematical treatment.…
In some previous papers, a Legendre duality between Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics has been developed. The (\rho,\eta)-tangent application of the Legendre bundle morphism associated to a Lagrangian L or Hamiltonian H is presented.…
In order to account for all possible contractions allowed by the presence of the solder form, a generalized Hodge dual is defined for the case of soldered bundles. Although for curvature the generalized dual coincides with the usual one,…
The main goal of these lectures is to introduce and review the Hamiltonian formalism for classical constrained systems and in particular gauge theories. Emphasis is put on the relation between local symmetries and constraints and on the…
In this work, we study Lagrangian formulations for self-dual gauge theories, also known as chiral $n$-form gauge theories, for $n = 2p$ in $D = 4p+2$ dimensional spacetime. Motivated by a recent formulation of M5-branes derived from the BLG…
