We present a new parametrisation of the space of solutions of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a cylinder, with target space a compact, connected Lie group G. Using the covariant canonical approach the phase space of the theory is shown to…
The phase space of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle with target space a compact, connected, semisimple Lie group $G$ is defined and the corresponding symplectic form is given. We present a careful derivation of the Poisson brackets…
We present new covariant phase space formulations of superparticles moving on a group manifold, deriving the fundamental Poisson brackets and current algebras. We show how these formulations naturally generalise to the supersymmetric…
We establish a link between the multisymplectic and the covariant phase space approach to geometric field theory by showing how to derive the symplectic form on the latter, as introduced by Crnkovic-Witten and Zuckerman, from the…
The polysymplectic phase space of covariant Hamiltonian field theory can be provided with the current algebra bracket.
A new Poisson bracket for Hamiltonian forms on the full multisymplectic phase space is defined. At least for forms of degree n-1, where n is the dimension of space-time, Jacobi's identity is fulfilled.
The physical phase space of gauge field theories on a cylindrical spacetime with an arbitrary compact simple gauge group is shown to be the quotient $ {\bf R}^{2r}/W_A, $ $ r $ a rank of the gauge group, $ W_A $ the affine Weyl group. The…
We define the chiral zero modes' phase space of the G=SU(n) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model as an (n-1)(n+2)-dimensional manifold M_q equipped with a symplectic form involving a special 2-form - the Wess-Zumino (WZ) term - which depends on…
We investigate the G/G gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a Riemann surface from the point of view of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz for the phase model. After localization procedure is applied to the G/G gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model, the…
We present an analysis of the canonical structure of the WZW theory with untwisted conformal boundary conditions. The phase space of the boundary theory on a strip is shown to coincide with the phase space of the Chern-Simons theory on a…
We consider the Poisson sigma model associated to a Poisson manifold. The perturbative quantization of this model yields the Kontsevich star product formula. We study here the classical model in the Hamiltonian formalism. The phase space is…
We present a generalization of the Nambu mechanics on the base of Liouville's theorem. We prove that the Poisson structure of an n-dimensional multisymplectic phase space is induced by (n-1)-Hamiltonian k-vector field seach of which…
We show that the diffeomorphisms of an extended phase space with time, energy, momentum and position degrees of freedom that leave invariant the symplectic 2-form and and a degenerate orthogonal metric dt^2 locally satisfy Hamilton's…
We consider the Poisson cylinder model in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space. We show that in contrast to the Euclidean case, there is a phase transition in the connectivity of the collection of cylinders as the intensity parameter varies. We…
We establish an exact relation between the S-symplectomorphism and the S-matrix by means of the phase space formulation of quantum mechanics. The adjoint action of the S-matrix defines a fuzzy diffeomorphism on phase space whose classical…
We present a general classification of Hamiltonian multivector fields and of Poisson forms on the extended multiphase space appearing in the geometric formulation of first order classical field theories. This is a prerequisite for computing…
The structure of the reduced phase space arising in the Hamiltonian reduction of the phase space corresponding to a free particle motion on the group ${\rm SL}(2, {\Bbb R})$ is investigated. The considered reduction is based on the…
We summarize some results obtained on the problem of gauging the Wess--Zumino term of a d-dimensional bosonic sigma-model. We show that gauged WZ-like terms are in one-to-one correspondence with equivariant cocycles of the target space. By…
We propose a new procedure to embed second class systems by introducing Wess-Zumino (WZ) fields in order to unveil hidden symmetries existent in the models. This formalism is based on the direct imposition that the new Hamiltonian must be…
We described the $q$-deformed phase space. The $q$-deformed Hamilton eqations of motion are derived and discussed. Some simple models are considered.
