Manifestly covariant canonical quantization II: Gauge theory and anomalies
In hep-th/0411028 a new manifestly covariant canonical quantization method was developed. The idea is to quantize in the phase space of arbitrary histories first, and impose dynamics as first-class constraints afterwards. The Hamiltonian is defined covariantly as the generator of rigid translations of the fields relative to the observer. This formalism is now applied to theories with gauge symm...
متن کاملManifestly covariant canonical quantization I: the free scalar field
Classical physics is reformulated as a constrained Hamiltonian system in the history phase space. Dynamics, i.e. the Euler-Lagrange equations, play the role of first-class constraints. This allows us to apply standard methods from the theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems, e.g. Dirac brackets and cohomological methods. In analogy with BRST quantization, we quantize in the history phase spac...
متن کاملCanonical density matrix perturbation theory.
Density matrix perturbation theory [Niklasson and Challacombe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 193001 (2004)] is generalized to canonical (NVT) free-energy ensembles in tight-binding, Hartree-Fock, or Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. The canonical density matrix perturbation theory can be used to calculate temperature-dependent response properties from the coupled perturbed self-consistent field equat...
متن کاملCanonical Quantization of Noncommutative Field Theory
A simple method to canonically quantize noncommutative field theories is proposed. As a result, the elementary excitations of a (2n + 1)-dimensional scalar field theory are shown to be bilocal objects living in an (n + 1)-dimensional space-time. Feynman rules for their scattering are derived canonically. They agree, upon suitable redefinitions, with the rules obtained via star-product methods. ...
متن کاملHeat Kernel Expansion in the Covariant Perturbation Theory
Working within the framework of the covariant perturbation theory, we obtain the coincidence limit of the heat kernel of an elliptic second order differential operator that is applicable to a large class of quantum field theories. The basis of tensor invariants of the curvatures of a gravity and gauge field background, to the second order, is derived, and the form factors acting on them are obt...
