The Hamiltonian constraint system is the canonical formulation of a physical system with a Hamiltonian constrained to vanish. In terms of the canonical variables, we define what we call reference observable, with respect to which other…
A broad class of contour gauges is shown to be determined by admissible contractions of the geometrical region considered and a suitable equivalence class of curves is defined. In the special case of magnetostatics, the relevant…
A pure Dirac's framework for 3D Palatini's theory with cosmological constant is performed. By considering the complete phase space, we find out the full structure of the constraints, and their corresponding algebra is computed explicitly.…
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…
In this short note we investigate canonical formalism for General Relativity which is formulated with the metric f^{ab}=(-g)^\alpha g^{ab}. We find corresponding Hamiltonian and we show that constraint structure is the same as in the…
It is shown that in the first order gauge theories under some general assumptions gauge conditions can play the role of new local symmetry generators, while the original constraints become gauge fixing terms. It is possible to associate…
We perform the canonical Hamiltonian analysis of a topological gauge theory, that can be seen both as a theory defined on a four dimensional spacetime region with boundaries --the bulk theory--, or as a theory defined on the boundary of the…
The problem of gauge symmetry in higher derivative Lagrangian systems is discussed from a Hamiltonian point of view. The number of independent gauge parameters is shown to be in general {\it{less}} than the number of independent primary…
When a Hamiltonian system is subject to constraints which depend explicitly on time, difficulties can arise in attempting to reduce the system to its physical phase space. Specifically, it is non-trivial to restrict the system in such a way…
We investigate perturbed Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom by renormalization group method, which derives a reduced equation called renormalization group equation (RGE) by handling secular terms. We found that RGE is not…
Reasoning about the physical world requires models that are endowed with the right inductive biases to learn the underlying dynamics. Recent works improve generalization for predicting trajectories by learning the Hamiltonian or Lagrangian…
In this paper we study the problem of Hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems from a geometric point of view. We use gauge transformations by 2-forms (in the sense of Severa and Weinstein [29]) to construct different almost Poisson…
We analyze the canonical treatment of classical constrained mechanical systems formulated with a discrete time. We prove that under very general conditions, it is possible to introduce nonsingular canonical transformations that preserve the…
The notion of hidden symmetry algebra used in the context of exactly solvable systems is re-examined from the purely algebraic way, analyzing subspaces of commuting polynomials that generate finite-dimensional quadratic algebras. By…
We provide the canonical formulation of double field theory. It is shown that this dynamics is subject to primary and secondary constraints. The Poisson bracket algebra of secondary constraints is shown to close on-shell according to the…
We aim to analyze the consistency of the deformation of the Heisenberg algebra in the setting of constrained Hamiltonian systems, providing a procedure to induce the deformation on the Poisson algebra after symplectic reduction. We…
The symmetries play important roles in physical systems. We study the symmetries of a Hamiltonian system by investigating the asymmetry of the Hamiltonian with respect to certain algebras. We define the asymmetry of an operator with respect…
This paper explores in some detail a recent proposal (the Rieffel induction/refined algebraic quantization scheme) for the quantization of constrained gauge systems. Below, the focus is on systems with a single constraint and, in this…
Higgs algebras are used to construct rotational Hamiltonians. The correspondence between the spectrum of a triaxial rotor and the spectrum of a cubic Higgs algebra is demonstrated. It is shown that a suitable choice of the parameters of the…
We prove that every automorphism of the restricted root system of a real semisimple Lie algebra -- when defined properly -- can be lifted to an automorphism of that Lie algebra. In particular, this can be applied to automorphisms of the…
