We explore the quantization of classical models with position-dependent mass (PDM) terms constrained to a bounded interval in the canonical position. This is achieved through the Weyl-Heisenberg covariant integral quantization by properly…
Using canonical quantisation, and eschewing the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral, we derive a version of the Worldline Quantum Field Theory (WQFT) formalism suitable for both scattering and bound configurations of the classical two-body…
The paper is devoted to integral quantization, a procedure based on operator-valued measure and resolution of the identity. We insist on covariance properties in the important case where group representation theory is involved. We also…
We reexamine in detail a canonical quantization method a la Gupta-Bleuler in which the Fock space is built over a so-called Krein space. This method has already been successfully applied to the massless minimally coupled scalar field in de…
We present here the canonical treatment of spherically symmetric (quantum) gravity coupled to spherically symmetric Maxwell theory with or without a cosmological constant. The quantization is based on the reduced phase space which is…
Phase operators are constructed using a Klauder-Berezin coherent state quantization in finite Hilbert subspaces of the Hilbert space of Fourier series. The study of infinite dimensional limits of mean values of some observables phase leads…
We investigate canonical quantization of a general spherically symmetric spacetimes with a massless scalar-field source and examine the associated constraint algebra. The spacetimes are quantized using Dirac's quantization method for…
We argue that to solve the foundational problems of quantum theory one has to first understand what it means to quantize a classical system. We then propose a quantization method based on replacement of deterministic c-numbers by…
Canonical quantization covers a broad class of classical systems, but that does not include all the problems of interest. Affine quantization has the benefit of providing a successful quantization of many important problems including the…
There is widespread disagreement about how the general covariance of a theory affects its quantization. Without a complete quantum theory of gravity, one can examine quantum consequences of coordinate choices only in highly idealized `toy'…
The Hamilton-Jacobi method of constrained systems is discussed. The equations of motion for three singular systems are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The integrability conditions for these syatems lead us to the…
The metric known to be relevant for standard quantization procedures receives a natural interpretation and its explicit use simultaneously gives both physical and mathematical meaning to a (coherent-state) phase-space path integral, and at…
We address an apparent conflict between the traditional canonical quantization framework of quantum theory and the spatially restricted quantum dynamics, when the translation invariance of the otherwise free quantum system is broken by…
We propose a manifestly covariant canonical method of field quantization based on the classical De Donder-Weyl covariant canonical formulation of field theory. Owing to covariance, the space and time arguments of fields are treated on an…
Covariant integral quantizations are based on the resolution of the identity by continuous or discrete families of normalised positive operator valued measures (POVM), which have appealing probabilistic content and which transform in a…
The quantization of systems with first- and second-class constraints within the coherent-state path-integral approach is extended to quantum systems with fermionic degrees of freedom. As in the bosonic case the importance of path-integral…
For decades, mathematical physicists have searched for a coordinate independent quantization procedure to replace the ad hoc process of canonical quantization. This effort has largely coalesced into two distinct research programs: geometric…
A nonpertubative approach to quantum gravity using precanonical field quantization originating from the covariant De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian formulation which treats space and time variables on equal footing is presented. A generally…
In the covariant canonical approach to classical physics, each point in phase space represents an entire classical trajectory. Initial data at a fixed time serve as coordinates for this ``timeless'' phase space, and time evolution can be…
