We study the behavior of dynamical systems under time reparameterizations, which is important not only to characterize chaos in relativistic systems but also to probe the invariance of dynamical quantities. We first show that time…
We present a fermion model characterized by an anticommuting-parameter shift symmetry. The Hamiltonian formulation exhibits a combination of first-class and second-class constraints. We derive the well-known Dirac equation by fixing the…

Reparametrization-invariant theories of point relativistic particle interaction with fields of arbitrary tensor dimension are considered. It has been shown that the equations of motion obtained by Kalman [G. Kalman, Phys. Rev. vol.123,…
We study a classical reparametrization-invariant system, in which ``time'' is not a priori defined. It consists of a nonrelativistic particle moving in five dimensions, two of which are compactified to form a torus. There, assuming a…
In this paper, we present the results of our investigation relating particle dynamics and non-commutativity of space-time by using Dirac's constraint analysis. In this study, we re-parameterise the time $t=t(\tau)$ along with $x=x(\tau)$…
We consider a relativistic extended object described by a reparametrization invariant local action that depends on the extrinsic curvature of the worldvolume swept out by the object as it evolves. We provide a Hamiltonian formulation of the…
We develop in a consistent manner the Ostrogradski-Hamilton framework for gonihedric string theory. The local action describing this model, being invariant under reparametrizations, depends on the modulus of the mean extrinsic curvature of…
A common feature of reparametrization invariant theories is the difficulty involved in identifying an appropriate evolution parameter and in constructing a Hilbert space on states. Two well known examples of such theories are the…
Systems invariant under the reparametrization of time were treated as constrained systems within Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. After imposing the integrability conditions the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation was obtained. Three examples…
We propose a form for the action of a relativistic particle subject to a positional force that is invariant under time reparametrization and therefore allows for a consistent Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics. This approach can be…
The quantization of General Relativity invariant with respect to time-reparametrizations is considered. We construct the Faddeev-Popov generating functional for the unitary perturbation theory in terms of invariants of the kinemetric group…
In general-covariant theories the Hamiltonian is a constraint, and hence there is no time evolution; this is the problem of time. In the subcritical free string, the Hamiltonian ceases to be a constraint after quantization due to conformal…
Gauge symmetries lead to first-class constraints. This assertion is of course true only for non trivial gauge symmetries, i.e., gauge symmetries that act non trivially on-shell on the dynamical variables. We illustrate this well-appreciated…
