We develop a Hamilton-Jacobi theory for singular lagrangian systems using the Gotay-Nester-Hinds constraint algorithm. The procedure works even if the system has secondary constraints.
Hamilton-Jacobi formalism is used to study 2D-gravity and its SL(2, R) hidden symmetry. If the contribution of the surface term is considered the obtained results coincide with those given by the Dirac and Faddeev-Jackiw approaches.

The Hamilton-Jacobi problem is revisited bearing in mind the consequences arising from a possible bi-Hamiltonian structure. The problem is formulated on the tangent bundle for Lagrangian systems in order to avoid the bias of the existence…

The general treatment of a separable Hamiltonian of Liouville-type is well-known in operator formalism. A path integral counterpart is formulated if one starts with the Jacobi's principle of least action, and a path integral evaluation of…

This paper is concerned with the study of a model case of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a "junction", that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. The main result is a comparison…
Classical field theory is considered as a theory of unparametrized surfaces embedded in a configuration space, which accommodates, in a symmetric way, spacetime positions and field values. Dynamics is defined by a (Hamiltonian) constraint…
