چکیده
We show that the recently developed soldering formalism in the Lagrangian approach and canonical transformations in the Hamiltonian approach are complementary. The examples of gauged chiral bosons in two dimensions and self-dual models in three dimensions are discussed in details.

A Note on T-Duality, Open Strings in B-field Background and Canonical Transformations
In this paper we study T-duality for open strings ending on branes with non-zero B-field on them from the point of view of canonical transformations. For the particular case of type II strings on the two torus we show that the Sl(2, Z)N transformations can be understood as a sub-class of canonical transformations on the open strings in the B-field background. ∗ E-mail:[email protected]
متن کاملIrregular isomonodromic deformations for Garnier systems and Okamoto’s canonical transformations
In this paper we describe the Garnier systems as isomonodromic deformation equations of a linear system with a simple pole at 0 and a Poincaré rank two singularity at infinity. We discuss the extension of Okamoto’s birational canonical transformations to the Garnier systems in more than one variable and to the Schlesinger systems.
متن کاملLocal exponents and infinitesimal generators of canonical transformations on Boson Fock spaces
A one-parameter symplectic group {e}t∈R derives proper canonical transformations on a Boson Fock space. It has been known that the unitary operator Ut implementing such a proper canonical transformation gives a projective unitary representation of {e}t∈R and that Ut can be expressed as a normal-ordered form. We rigorously derive the self-adjoint operator ∆(Â) and a phase factor e i ∫ t 0 τ Â (s...
متن کاملCanonical Transformations in Quantum Mechanics
Quantum canonical transformations are defined algebraically outside of a Hilbert space context. This generalizes the quantum canonical transformations of Weyl and Dirac to include non-unitary transformations. The importance of non-unitary transformations for constructing solutions of the Schrödinger equation is discussed. Three elementary canonical transformations are shown both to have quantum...
متن کاملQuantum Canonical Transformations and Integrability: Beyond Unitary Transformations
Quantum canonical transformations are defined in analogy to classical canonical transformations as changes of the phase space variables which preserve the Dirac bracket structure. In themselves, they are neither unitary nor non-unitary. A definition of quantum integrability in terms of canonical transformations is proposed which includes systems which have fewer commuting integrals of motion th...
