The microcanonical density matrix in closed cosmology has a natural definition as a projector on the space of solutions of Wheeler-DeWitt equations, which is motivated by the absence of global non-vanishing charges and energy in spatially…
We show that the BFV quantization scheme can be implemented in the nonprojectable 2+1 Horava theory. This opens the possibility of imposing more general gauge conditions in the quantization of this theory. The BFV quantization is based on…
The BFV-BRST Hamiltonian quantization method is presented for the theories where the gauge parameters are restricted by differential equations. The general formalism is exemplified by the Maxwell-like theory of symmetric tensor field.
