In this work we derive the Hamiltonian formalism of the O(N) non-linear sigma model in its original version as a second-class constrained field theory and then as a first-class constrained field theory. We treat the model as a second-class…

We study the Calder\'on problem for a logarithmic Schr\"odinger type operator of the form $L_{\Delta} +q$, where $L_{\Delta}$ denotes the logarithmic Laplacian, which arises as formal derivative $\frac{d}{ds} \big|_{s=0}(-\Delta)^s$ of the…
