Dirac versus reduced quantization and operator ordering
نویسنده
چکیده
We show an equivalence between Dirac quantization and the reduced phase space quantization. The equivalence of the both quantization methods determines the operator ordering of the Hamiltonian. Some examples of the operator ordering are shown in simple models.

Dirac versus reduced quantization of the Poincaré symmetry in scalar electrodynamics.
The generators of the Poincaré symmetry of scalar electrodynam-ics are quantized in the functional Schrödinger representation. We show that the factor ordering which corresponds to (minimal) Dirac quantization preserves the Poincaré algebra, but (minimal) reduced quantization does not. In the latter, there is a van Hove anomaly in the boost-boost commutator, which we evaluate explicitly to lowe...
متن کاملThe Quantum Commutator Algebra of a Perfect Fluid
A perfect fluid is quantized by the canonical method. The constraints are found and this allows the Dirac brackets to be calculated. Replacing the Dirac brackets with quantum commutators formally quantizes the system. There is a momentum operator in the denominator of some coordinate quantum commutators. It is shown that it is possible to multiply throughout by this momentum operator. Factor or...
متن کاملQuantization of Spinning Particle with Anomalous Magnetic Momentum
A generalization of the pseudoclassical action of a spinning particle in the presence of an anomalous magnetic moment is given. The leading considerations, to write the action, are gotten from the path integral representation for the causal Green's function of the generalized (by Pauli) Dirac equation for the particle with anomalous magnetic momentum in an external electromagnetic field. The ac...
متن کاملCobordism Invariance of the Index of a Transversally Elliptic Operator
1. The SpinC-Dirac operator and the SpinC-quantization In this section we reformulate the “SpinC-quantization commutes with cobordism” principal in a more analytic language. In Subsection 1.1, we briefly recall the notion of SpinC-Dirac operator. We refer the reader to [2, 6] for details. We also express the SpinC-quantization of an orbifold M = X/G in terms of the index of the lift of the Spin...
متن کاملOperator ordering and Classical soliton path in Two - dimensional N = 2 supersymmetry with Kähler potential
We investigate a 2-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric model which consists of n chiral superfields with Kähler potential. When we define quantum observables, we are always plagued by operator ordering problem. Among various ways to fix the operator order, we rely upon the supersymmetry. We demonstrate that the correct operator order is given by requiring the super Poincaré algebra by carrying out...
