A covariant Hamiltonian formulation generalizing De Donder-Weyl mechanics is constructed with field strengths as velocity fields. Since the teleparallel equivalents to general relativity are quadratic in field strengths, the field-strength…

We review the recent generalization of the basic structures of classical analytical mechanics to field theory within the framework of the De Donder-Weyl (DW) covariant canonical theory. We start from the Poincar\'e-Cartan form and construct…

The requirement of general covariance of quantum field theory (QFT) naturally leads to quantization based on the manifestly covariant De Donder-Weyl formalism. To recover the standard noncovariant formalism without violating covariance,…

We first carry out the soliton sector quantization of the spatially cut-off $\phi^4_{1+1}$ theory with double well potential in the semiclassical limit, deriving the nonrelativistic Schr\"odinger equation as an equation describing the…

The Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism for Dirac second class constrained systems has been proposed recently as the deformation quantization of Dirac bracket. In this paper, after a brief review of this formalism, it is applied to the case of the…

We show that the De Donder-Weyl (DW) covariant Hamiltonian field equations of any field can be written in Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) matrix form. As a consequence, the (modified) DKP beta-matrices (5 X 5 in four space-time dimensions) are…

Hamiltonian mechanics of field theory can be formulated in a generally covariant and background independent manner over a finite dimensional extended configuration space. The physical symplectic structure of the theory can then be defined…

Precanonical quantization is based on a generalization of the Hamiltonian formalism to field theory, the so-called De Donder-Weyl (DW) theory, which does not require a spacetime splitting and treats the space-time variables on an equal…
