Covariant and dynamical reduction for principal bundle field theories
Reduction for field theories with symmetry can be done either covariantly—that is, on spacetime—or dynamically—that is, after spacetime is split into space and time. The purpose of this article is to show that these two reduction procedures are, in an appropriate sense, equivalent for a class of field theories whose fields take values in a principal bundle. One can think of this class of field ...
متن کاملModular Nuclearity: A Generally Covariant Perspective
A quantum field theory in its algebraic description may admit many irregular states. So far, selection criteria to distinguish physically reasonable states have been restricted to free fields (Hadamard condition) or to flat spacetimes (e.g., Buchholz-Wichmann nuclearity). We propose instead to use a modular `p-condition, which is an extension of a strengthened modular nuclearity condition to ge...
متن کاملGauge Invariance for Generally Covariant Systems
Previous analyses on the gauge invariance of the action for a generally covariant system are generalized. It is shown that if the action principle is properly improved, there is as much gauge freedom at the endpoints for an arbitrary gauge system as there is for a system with “internal” gauge symmetries. The key point is to correctly identify the boundary conditions for the allowed histories an...
متن کاملOperator ordering for generally covariant systems
An essential aspect of a generally covariant system is the invariance of its action under reparametrizations; this means that the label that parametrizes the trajectories of the system is not the time but a physically irrelevant parameter. As a consequence, the system is constrained to remain on the hypersurface of the phase space where the Hamiltonian is null. In fact, since the “evolution” ge...
متن کاملLight Propagation in Generally Covariant Electrodynamics and the Fresnel Equation *
Within the framework of generally covariant (pre-metric) electrodynamics, we specify a local vacuum spacetime relation between the excitation H = (D,H) and the field strength F = (E,B). We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in such a spacetime by Hadamard’s method and arrive, with the constitutive tensor density κ ∼ ∂H/∂F , at a Fresnel equation which is algebraic of 4th order in th...
