Covariant Quantization of Lorentz-Violating Electromagnetism
We present a consistent, generally covariant quantization of light for non-vacuum birefringent, Lorentz-symmetry breaking electrodynamics in the context of the Standard Model Extension. We find that the number of light quanta in the field is not frame independent, and that the interaction of the quantized field with matter is necessarily birefringent. We also show that the conventional Lorenz g...

متن کاملCanonical Transformations, Entropy and Quantization
This paper considers various aspects of the canonical coordinate transformations in a complex phase space. The main result is given by two theorems which describe two special families of mappings between integrable Hamiltonian systems. The generating function of these transformations is determined by the entropy and a second arbitrary function which we take to be the energy function. For simple...
متن کاملImpenetrable Barriers and Canonical Quantization
We address a conceptual issue of reconciling the traditional canonical quantization framework of quantum theory with the spatially restricted quantum dynamics and the related spectral problems for confined and global observables of the quantum system.
متن کاملCanonical quantization and expanding metrics
The canonical formalism for expanding metrics scenarios is presented. Nonunitary time evolution implied by expanding geometry is described as a trajectory over unitarily inequivalent representations at different times of the canonical commutation relations. Thermal properties of inflating Universe are also discussed. PACS: 04.60.d, 98.80.c In this paper we study the quantum field theory (QFT) f...
