Non-equivalence of Faddeev-Jackiw method and Dirac-Bergmann algorithm and the modification of Faddeev-Jackiw method for keeping the equivalence

From the angle of the calculation of constraints, we compare the Faddeev-Jackiw method with Dirac-Bergmann algorithm, study the relations between the Faddeev-Jackiw constraints and Dirac constraints, and demonstrate that Faddeev-Jackiw method is not always equivalent to Dirac method. For some systems, under the assumption of no variables being eliminated in any step in Faddeev-Jackiw formalism, except for the Dirac primary constraints, we are possible to get some Dirac secondary constraints which do not appear in the corresponding Faddeev-Jackiw formalism, which will result in the contradiction between Faddeev-Jackiw quantization and Dirac quantization. At last, accordingly, we propose a modified Faddeev-Jackiw method which keeps the equivalence between Dirac-Bergmann algorithm and Faddeev-Jackiw method. However, one point must be stressed that the Faddeev-Jackiw method and quantization in this paper is these mentioned in [J. Barcelos-Neto, C. Wotzasek, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 7 (1992) 1737], not the initial Faddeev-Jackiw method mentioned in [L. Faddeev, R. Jackiw, Phys. Rev. Lett. 60 (1988) 1692], which is completely on basis of Darboux transformation, and must have the elimination of variables in every step of that, so it is reasonable that the constraints in this Faddeev-Jackiw method is fewer than the Dirac secondary constraints. Thus, we overcome the difficulty of the Non-equivalence of the Faddeev-Jackiw method and Dirac-Bergmann algorithm, and make the equivalence of the Faddeev-Jackiw method and Dirac-Bergmann algorithm restored.     

BRST analysis of the gauged SU(2) WZW model and Darboux’s transformations

The four dimensional SU(2) WZW model coupled to electromagnetism is treated as a constraint system in the context of the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky formalism. Common features with the Faddeev-Jackiw approach are stressed and the same results are obtained. The Darboux’s transformations which are used to diagonalize the canonical one-form in the Faddeev-Jackiw formalism, are shown to transform the fields of the model into BRST and σ closed. The same analysis is also carried out in the case of spinor electrodynamics.     

Nonlinear sigma model in the Faddeev-Jackiw quantization formalism

The key equations of the symplectic Faddeev-Jackiw formalism are written in an alternative way so that the inverse of the symplectic matrix is easily found. The nonlinear sigma model including the Hopf term in the action is treated in the framework of this quantization method. It is shown how the complete dynamics of the system is described by means of the generalized Faddeev-Jackiw quatum brackets.     

Dynamical Model and Path Integral Formalism for Hubbard Operators

In this paper, the possibility to construct apath integral formalism by using the Hubbard operatorsas field dynamical variables is investigated. By meansof arguments coming from the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic Lagrangian formalism as well as from theHamiltonian Dirac method, it can be shown that it is notpossible to define a classical dynamics consistent withthe full algebra of the Hubbard X-operators. Moreover, from the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic algorithm,and in order to satisfy the Hubbard X-operatorscommutation rules, it is possible to determine thenumber of constraints that must be included in aclassical dynamical model. Following this approach, it isclear how the constraint conditions that must beintroduced in the classical Lagrangian formulation areweaker than the constraint conditions imposed by the full Hubbard operators algebra. The consequenceof this fact is analyzed in the context of the pathintegral formalism. Finally, in the framework of theperturbative theory, the diagrammatic and the Feynman rules of the model are discussed.     

Metafluid dynamics and Hamilton-Jacobi formalism

Metafluid dynamics was investigated within Hamilton-Jacobi formalism and the existence of the hidden gauge symmetry was analyzed. The obtained results are in agreement with those of Faddeev-Jackiw approach.     

Hamiltonian Structure of Fractional First Order Lagrangian

In this paper, we show that the fractional constraint Hamiltonian formulation, using Dirac brackets, leads to the same equations as those obtained from fractional Euler-Lagrange equations. Furthermore, the fractional Faddeev-Jackiw formalism was constructed.     

Symplectic algorithm for systems with second-class constraints

The recently modified Faddeev-Jackiw formalism for systems having one chain of four levels of only second-class constraints is applied to the non-triviala=1 bosonized chiral Schwinger model in (1+1) dimensions as well as to one mechanical system. The sets of obtained constraints are in agreement with Dirac’s canonical formulation.     

Constraints on operator ordering from third quantization

In this paper, we analyse the Wheeler–DeWitt equation in the third quantized formalism. We will demonstrate that for certain operator ordering, the early stages of the universe are dominated by quantum fluctuations, and the universe becomes classical at later stages during the cosmic expansion. This is physically expected, if the universe is formed from quantum fluctuations in the third quantized formalism. So, we will argue that this physical requirement can be used to constrain the form of the operator ordering chosen. We will explicitly demonstrate this to be the case for two different cosmological models.     

Faddeev-Jackiw quantization method in conformal three-dimensional supergravity

The conformal supergravity in three space-time dimensions is described by a pure Lorentz-Chern-Simons term. This system has constraints on curvatures and so it is a higher-derivative gauge model. The dynamical properties of this model are analyzed by means of the supersymmetric extension of the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic quantization method. Using this algorithm in the first-order formalism, we study the gauge supersymmetric transformations and we find the constraints of the model.     

Hamilton–Jacobi and Symplectic Analysis of a Particle Constrained on a Circle

Hamilton-Jacobi and modified Faddeev-Jackiw methods were applied to investigate the motion of a particle moving on a circle. The results of both methods were found to be equivalent with those of Dirac's formalism. Besides, the importance of the Lagrange multipliers was analyzed and the action of the second-class constrained system was given.     

Improved Faddeev-Jackiw quantization of the electromagnetic field and Lagrange multiplier fields

We use the improved Faddeev-Jackiw quantization method to quantize the electromagnetic field and its Lagrange multiplier fields.The method's comparison with the usual Faddeev-Jackiw method and the Dirac method is given.We show that this method is equivalent to the Dirac method and also retains all the merits of the usual Faddeev-Jackiw method.Moreover,it is simpler than the usual one if one needs to obtain new secondary constraints.Therefore,the improved Faddeev-Jackiw method is essential.Meanwhile,we find the new meaning of the Lagrange multipliers and explain the Faddeev-Jackiw generalized brackets concerning the Lagrange multipliers.     

Irreducible tensor form of three-particle operator for open-shell atoms

A three-particle operator in a second quantized form is studied systematically and comprehensively. The operator is transformed into irreducible tensor form. Possible coupling schemes, identified by the classes of symmetric group S6, are presented. Recoupling coefficients that make it possible to transform a given scheme into another are produced by using the angular momentum theory combined with quasispin formalism. The classification of the three-particle operator which acts on n = 1, 2,..., 6 open shells of equivalent electrons of atom is considered. The procedure to construct three-particle matrix elements are examined.     

Obtaining non-Abelian field theories via the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic formalism

In this Letter we construct non-Abelian field theories employing the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic formalism. The original Abelian fields were modified in order to introduce the non-Abelian algebra. We construct the SU(2) and SU(2)⊗U(1) Yang-Mills theories having as starting point the U(1) Maxwell electromagnetic theory.     

The PCAC relation in the NJL model in the BS/Faddeev approach

Evaluations of bound state expectation values of quantized one-body operators in the canonical operator formalism are reviewed, based on the Bethe-Salpeter(BS)/Faddeev approach in the NJL model. The PCAC relation in the BS/Faddeev approach is derived without assuming any particular form of the Bethe-Salpeter kernel. These results are applied to ladder truncation schemes and the truncation scheme in which the qq interactions induced by the q exchange in the pion and sigma mesonic channel are included.     

Quantized space-time,torsion, and magnetic monopoles

Within the tetrad formalism we introduce quantized space-time in the curvilinear case by using general coordinate transformations with noncommuting terms. Fermion and boson fields are studied and the affine connection is also defined in this space. It is shown that space-time torsion and magnetic monopoles appear as consequences of the theory with quantized space-time at small distances. This method may open a new way of understanding topological structure of space-time.     

Classical and quantum pumping in closed systems

Pumping of charge (Q) in a closed ring geometry is not quantized even in the strict adiabatic limit. The deviation form exact quantization can be related to the Thouless conductance. We use the Kubo formalism as a starting point for the calculation of both the dissipative and the adiabatic contributions to Q. As an application we bring examples for classical dissipative pumping, classical adiabatic pumping, and in particular we make an explicit calculation for quantum pumping in case of the simplest pumping device, which is a three site lattice model. We make a connection with the popular S-matrix formalism which has been used to calculate pumping in open systems.     

Canonical quantization of gravity and a problem of scattering

Linearized theory of gravity is quantized both in a naive way and as a proper limit of the Dirac-Wheeler-De Witt approach to the quantization of the full theory. The equivalence between the two approaches is established. The problem of scattering in the canonically quantized theory of gravitation is investigated. The concept of the background metric naturally appears in the canonical formalism for this case. The equivalence between canonical and path-integral approaches is established for the problem of scattering. Some kinematical properties of functionals in Wheeler superspace are studied in an appendix.     

A Universal Construction of Calogero-Moser System with Two Types Spins Interaction

We present universal construction for the Calogero-Moser system with two types spins interaction of trigonometric potential based on the root system of semi-simple Lie algebra. In this formalism, we successfully build up the correct Lax pair as well as the R-matrix for this generalized Calogero-Moser models. Moreover using the property of root system, we make a concise explanation that in the quantized model, the R-matrix takes the same form as the classical one, which is the main new result of this paper.
