We employ Dirac's bra-ket notation to define the inertia tensor operator that is independent of the choice of bases or coordinate system. The principal axes and the corresponding principal values for the elliptic plate are determined only…
A generalized version is proposed for the field-antifield formalism. The antibracket operation is defined in arbitrary field-antifield coordinates. The antisymplectic definitions are given for first- and second-class constraints. In the…
According to Dirac's bra-ket notation, in an inner-product space, the inner product $\langle x\,|\,y\rangle$ of vectors $x,y$ can be viewed as an application of the bra $\langle x|$ to the ket $|y\rangle$. Here $\langle x|$ is the linear…
We investigate Dirac's bra-ket formalism based on a rigged Hilbert space for a non-Hermite quantum system with a positive-definite metric. First, the rigged Hilbert space, characterized by positive-definite metric, is established. With the…
We reformulate in a systematic way the conversional approach in its most general and compact form. We present a new definition of generalized Dirac bracket directly in terms of the super-observables commuting with the basic BFV-BRST charge.
The widespread bra-ket formalism offers valuable tools for conducting representation-free considerations in quantum theory. However, it is not without its drawbacks. In this work, we discuss these drawbacks in detail and subsequently…
This study discussed Dirac's bra-ket formalism for the identical particles system based on the rigged Hilbert space reformulated by R. Madrid [J. Phys A:Math. Gen. 37, 8129 (2004)]. The bra and ket vectors for a composite system that form…
Differents formalismes sont utilises en mecanique quantique pour la description des etats et des observables : la mecanique ondulatoire, la mecanique matricielle et le formalisme invariant. Nous discutons les problemes et inconvenients du…
By a series of simple examples, we illustrate how the lack of mathematical concern can readily lead to surprising mathematical contradictions in wave mechanics. The basic mathematical notions allowing for a precise formulation of the theory…
We review the Dirac formalism for dealing with constraints in a canonical Hamiltonian formulation and discuss gauge freedom and display constraints for gauge theories in a general context. We introduce the Dirac bracket and show that it…
An extension of the Dirac procedure for the quantization of constrained systems is necessary to address certain issues that are left open in Dirac's original proposal. These issues play an important role especially in the context of…
I formulate a deformation of the dimensional-regularization technique that is useful for theories where the common dimensional regularization does not apply. The Dirac algebra is not dimensionally continued, to avoid inconsistencies with…
These pedagogical lecture notes address to the students in theoretical physics for helping them to understand the mechanisms of the linear operators defined on finite-dimensional vector spaces equipped with definite or indefinite inner…
We present an off-shell indefinite-metric reformulation of the earlier on-shell positive-metric triple bracket generalization of the Dirac equation. The new version of the formalism solves the question of its manifest covariance.
A generalization of the Dirac field equation in three-dimensional Minkowski space-time to the case of the $\bar{SL}(3,R)$ $\subset$ $\bar{SA}(3,R)$ symmetry is considered. Constraints that ensure a correct physical interpretation of the…
In this note we describe how some objects from generalized geometry appear in the qualitative analysis and numerical simulation of mechanical systems. In particular we discuss double vector bundles and Dirac structures. It turns out that…
The usual Laurent expansion of the analytic tensors on the complex plane is generalized to any closed and orientable Riemann surface represented as an affine algebraic curve. As an application, the operator formalism for the $b-c$ systems…
There is compelling evidence that, when continuous spectrum is present, the natural mathematical setting for Quantum Mechanics is the rigged Hilbert space rather than just the Hilbert space. In particular, Dirac's bra-ket formalism is fully…
The purpose of this paper is to articulate a coherent and easy-to-understand way of doing quantum mechanics in any finite-dimensional Liouville space, based on the use of Kronecker product and what we have termed the `bra-flipper' operator.…
We show how to cast an interacting system of M--branes into manifestly gauge-invariant form using an arrangement of higher-dimensional Dirac surfaces. Classical M--theory has a cohomologically nontrivial and noncommutative set of gauge…
