We describe in detail how to eliminate nonphysical degrees of freedom in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of a constrained system. Two important and distinct steps in our method are the fixing of ambiguities in the dynamics and…
We derive an effective Hamiltonian for a quantum system constrained to a submanifold (the constraint manifold) of configuration space (the ambient space) by an infinite restoring force. We pay special attention to how this Hamiltonian…
We show that for a system containing a set of general second class constraints which are linear in the phase space variables, the Abelian conversion can be obtained in a closed form and that the first class constraints generate a…
Systems under holonomic constraints are classified within the generalized Hamiltonian framework as second-class constraints systems. We show that each system of point particles with holonomic constraints has a hidden gauge symmetry which…
Application of the so-called refined algebraic quantization scheme for constrained systems to the relativistic particle provides an inner product that defines a unique Fock representation for a scalar field in curved space-time. The…
Considerable attention has been paid to the study of the quantum geometry of nonrotating black holes within the framework of Loop Quantum Cosmology. This interest has been reinvigorated since the introduction of a novel effective model by…
The Hilbert space of a free massless particle moving on a group manifold is studied in details using canonical quantisation. While the simplest model is invariant under a global symmetry, $G \times G$, there is a very natural way to…
Based on a more careful canonical analysis, we motivate a reduced quantization - in the sense of superspace quantization - of slightly inhomogeneous cosmology in place of the Dirac quantization in the existing literature, and provide it in…
Singular theories, characterised by the presence of degeneracies in their Lagrangian or Hamiltonian descriptions, require the systematic implementation of constraints in order to obtain well-defined dynamics. While the symplectic framework…
This paper proposes a new way to quantize classical mechanical systems. Here we use ALAG - programme to construct moduli space of half weighted Bohr - Sommerfeld lagrangian cycles of fixed volume which is our quantum phase space. "Dynamical…
The Lagrangian formulation of classical field theories and in particular general relativity leads to a coordinate-free, fully covariant analysis of these constrained systems. This paper applies multisymplectic techniques to obtain the…
The aim of this work is to provide an analytical model to characterize the equilibrium points and the phase space associated with the singly-averaged dynamics caused by the planetary oblateness coupled with the solar radiation pressure…
We analyze a singular theory with first class constraints of an arbitrary stage. Relation among the formulations of the constrained system in terms of complete and extended Hamiltonians is clarified. We replace the extended Hamiltonian…
It is shown that quantization of the dynamical systems with second class constraints actually can be reduced to quantization of the systems with first class constraints. The motion of the non-relativistic particle along the plane curve and…
The most fundamental characteristics of a physical system can often be deduced from its behaviour under discrete symmetry transformations such as time reversal, parity and chirality. Here we review basic symmetry properties of the…
In a series of seminal papers, Laddha and Varadarajan have developed in depth the quantisation of Parametrised Field Theory (PFT) in the kind of discontinuous representations that are employed in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). In one spatial…
The canonical structure of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrange density $L=\sqrt{-g}R$ is examined in two spacetime dimensions, using the metric density $h^{\mu \nu}\equiv \sqrt{-g}g^{\mu \nu}$ and symmetric affine connection $\Gamma_{\sigma…
In this paper we apply the method of Lagrangian descriptors to explore the geometrical structures in phase space that govern the dynamics of dissipative systems. We demonstrate through many classical examples taken from the nonlinear…
We develop a new approach of the quantum phase in an Hilbert space of finite dimension which is based on the relation between the physical concept of phase locking and mathematical concepts such as cyclotomy and the Ramanujan sums. As a…
We first generalise the standard Wigner function to Dirac fermions in curved spacetimes. Secondly, we turn to the Moyal quantisation of systems with constraints. Gravity is used as an example.
