Canonical quantization, twistors and relativistic wave equations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics in twistor space is studied. The phase-space description of the classical theory leads (via canonical quantization) to all known wave equations describing massless particles. A natural link between the classical and the quantum description is provided by the Wigner function de®ned on the space of twistors.

A ug 1 99 2 Quantization of systems with time - dependent constraints . Example of relativistic particle in plane wave
A modification of the canonical quantization procedure for systems with time-dependent second-class constraints is discussed and applied to the quantization of the relativistic particle in a plane wave. The time dependence of constraints appears in the problem in two ways. The Lagrangian depends on time explicitly by origin, and a special time-dependent gauge is used. Two possible approaches to...
متن کاملBitwistor Formulation of Massive Spinning Particle
Twistor formulation of massive arbitrary spin particle has been constructed. Twistor space of such particle is formed two twistors and two complex scalars which form together ‘bosonic supertwistor’. The formulation is deduced from space–time one for spinning particle by means of introducing auxiliary harmonic variables and consequent partial fixing of gauges. It is carried out the canonical qua...

متن کامل0 Quantization of the Relativistic Particle
We revise the problem of the quantization of relativistic particle, presenting a modified consistent canonical scheme, which allows one not only to include arbitrary backgrounds in the consideration but to get in course of the quanti-zation a consistent relativistic quantum mechanics, which reproduces literally the behavior of the one-particle sector of the corresponding quantum field. At the s...
متن کاملRelativistic Wave Equation for Fields with Two Mass and Spin States
I suggest wave equations for the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and pseudovector fields with different masses for spin zero and one states. Tensor, matrix, and quaternion formulations of fields with two mass and spin states are considered. This is the generalization of the DiracKähler equation on the case of different masses of fields with spin one and zero. The equation matrices obtained are si...
