We show that a given set of first class constraints becomes abelian if one maps each constraint to the surface of other constraints. There is no assumption that first class constraints satisfy a closed algebra. The explicit form of the…

Constrained Hamiltonian systems fall into the realm of presymplectic geometry. We show, however, that also Poisson geometry is of use in this context. For the case that the constraints form a closed algebra, there are two natural Poisson…

We discuss the problem of non abelian constrained systems and the origin of appearance of non abelian algebras. We show that it is possible, in principle, to change a non abelian system to an abelian one, at least locally. Our method is…

We show that for a system containing a set of general second class constraints which are linear in the phase space variables, the Abelian conversion can be obtained in a closed form and that the first class constraints generate a…

We introduce "chain by chain" method for constructing the constraint structure of a system possessing both first and second class constraints. We show that the whole constraints can be classified into completely irreducible first or second…

The Hamiltonian description for a wide class of mechanical systems, having local symmetry transformations depending on time derivatives of the gauge parameters of arbitrary order, is constructed. The Poisson brackets of the Hamiltonian and…

We propose a general method for deformation quantization of any second-class constrained system on a symplectic manifold. The constraints determining an arbitrary constraint surface are in general defined only locally and can be components…

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…

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…

An irreducible canonical approach to second-class constraints reducible of an arbitrary order is given. This method generalizes our previous results from [Europhys. Lett. 50 (2000) 169, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40 (2007) 14537] for first-…

In a Hamiltonian system with first class constraints observables can be defined as elements of a quotient Poisson bracket algebra. In the gauge fixing method observables form a quotient Dirac bracket algebra. We show that these two algebras…

First-class constraints constitute a potential obstacle to the computation of a Poisson bracket in Dirac's theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems. Using the pseudoinverse instead of the inverse of the matrix defined by the Poisson…

A hypergroup is called an elementary abelian 2-hypergroup if it is a constrained direct product of the closed subsets of two elements. In this paper, the elementary abelian 2-hypergroups are studied. All closed subsets and all strongly…

In the Dirac bracket approach to dynamical systems with second class constraints observables are represented by elements of a quotient Dirac bracket algebra. We describe families of new realizations of this algebra through quotients of the…

Developing ideas based on combinatorial formulas for characteristic classes we introduce the algebra modeling secondary characteristic classes associated to $N$ connections. Certain elements of the algebra correspond to the ordinary and…

We find a first--order partial differential equation whose solutions are all ultralocal scalar combinations of gravitational constraints with Abelian Poisson brackets between themselves. This is a generalisation of the Kucha\v{r} idea of…

In the Dirac approach to the generalized Hamiltonian formalism, dynamical systems with first- and second-class constraints are investigated. The classification and separation of constraints into the first- and second-class ones are…

We apply the BFFT formalism to a prototypical second-class system, aiming to convert its constraints from second- to first-class. The proposed system admits a consistent initial set of second-class constraints and an open potential function…
