Evolution of systems in which Hamiltonians are generators of gauge transformations is a notion that requires more structure than the canonical theory provides. We identify and study this additional structure in the framework of relational…
By considering the Einstein vacuum field equations linearized about the Minkowski metric, the evolution equations for the gauge-invariant quantities characterizing the gravitational field are written in a Hamiltonian form by using a…
We suggest a homotopical description of the Poisson bracket invariants for tuples of closed sets in symplectic manifolds. It implies that these invariants depend only on the union of the sets along with topological data.
Free quantal motion on group manifolds is considered. The Hamiltonian is given by the Laplace -- Beltrami operator on the group manifold, and the purpose is to get the (Feynman's) evolution kernel. The spectral expansion, which produced a…
We provide a framework to determine the upper bound to the complexity of a computing a given observable with respect to a Hamiltonian. By considering the Heisenberg evolution of the observable, we show that each Hamiltonian defines an…
One of the axioms of quantum field theory is the property of unitarity of the evolution operator. However, if one considers the quantum electrodynamics in the external field in the leading order of perturbation theory, one will find that…
The deformation star product of smooth functions on the momentum phase space of covariant (polysymplectic) Hamiltonian field theory is introduced.
We study certain dynamical systems which leave invariant an indefinite quadratic form via semigroups or evolution families of complex symmetric Hilbert space operators. In the setting of bounded operators we show that a…
The unmodified Heisenberg-Pauli canonical formalism of quantum field theory applied to a self-interacting scalar boson field is shown to make sense mathematically in a framework of generalized functions adapted to nonlinear operations. The…
Using the multisymplectic Hamiltonian formalism, we propose a Poisson bracket for the electromagnetic field that, in addition to satisfying the restricted principle of relativity, reproduces well-established results from the standard…
We develop a general formalism for covariant Hamiltonian evolution of supersymmetric (field) theories by making use of the fact that these can be represented on the exterior bundle over their bosonic configuration space as generalized…
How to give a natural geometric definition of a covariant Poisson bracket in classical field theory has for a long time been an open problem - as testified by the extensive literature on "multisymplectic Poisson brackets", together with the…
In this work we give direct proofs of two theorems concerning explicitly defined polynomial vector fields connected to differentiation of hyperelliptic functions of any genus. We prove that the operators determining the fields commute, and…
The time evolution in a supersymmetric extension of the Kodomtsev-Petviashvilli hierarchy, a classical integrable system, is shown to be Hamiltonian. The canonical bracket associated to the Hamiltonian evolution is the classical analog of…
We analyze the situation when the Hamiltonian in field theory can be replaced by the dilatation operator.
Using the result by D.Gessler (Differential Geom. Appl. 7 (1997) 303-324, DIPS-9/98, http://diffiety.ac.ru/preprint/98/09_98abs.htm), we show that any invariant variational bivector (resp., variational 2-form) on an evolution equation with…
We discuss the one-dimensional, general quadratic Hamiltonian and the bi-dimensional charged particle in time-dependent electromagnetic fields through the Lie algebraic approach. Such method consists in finding a set of generators that form…
In many Lagrangian field theories one has a Poisson bracket defined on the space of local functionals. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a transformation on the space of local functionals to be canonical in three different…
In this paper we study local Hamiltonian operators for multi-component evolutionary differential-difference equations. We address two main problems: the first one is the classification of low order operators for the two-component case. On…
The polysymplectic $(n+1)$-form is introduced as an analogue of the symplectic form for the De Donder-Weyl polymomentum Hamiltonian formulation of field theory. The corresponding Poisson brackets on differential forms are constructed. The…
