A note on the path integral for systems with primary and secondary second class constraints

چکیده
It is shown that the phase space path integral for a system with arbitrary second class constraints (primary, secondary ...) can be rewritten as a configuration space path integral of the exponent of the Lagrangian action with some local measure.

Coordinate–Free Quantization of Second–Class Constraints
The conversion of second-class constraints into first-class constraints is used to extend the coordinate-free path integral quantization, achieved by a flat-space Brownian motion regularization of the coherent-state path integral measure, to systems with second-class constraints 1 Second-class constraints On performing the Legendre transformation for generalized velocities of a Lagrangian of a ...
متن کاملClosed Constraint Algebras and Path Integrals for Loop Group Actions
In this note we study systems with a closed algebra of second class constraints. We describe a construction of the reduced theory that resembles the conventional treatment of first class constraints. It suggests, in particular, to compute the symplectic form on the reduced space by a fiber integral of the symplectic form on the original space. This approach is then applied to a class of systems...
متن کاملCockpit Crew Pairing Problem in Airline Scheduling: Shortest Path with Resources Constraints Approach
Increasing competition in the air transport market has intensified active airlines’ efforts to keep their market share by attaching due importance to cost management aimed at reduced final prices. Crew costs are second only to fuel costs on the cost list of airline companies. So, this paper attempts to investigate the cockpit crew pairing problem. The set partitioning problem has been used for ...
متن کاملCoherent-state quantization of constrained fermion systems
The quantization of systems with firstand second-class constraints within the coherentstate path-integral approach is extended to quantum systems with fermionic degrees of freedom. As in the bosonic case the importance of path-integral measures for Lagrange multipliers, which in this case are in general expected to be elements of a Grassmann algebra, is explicated. Several examples with firstan...
متن کاملA note on the spin connection representation of gravity
The formulation of gravity in 3 + 1 dimensions in which the spin connection is the basic field (ω-frame) leads to a theory with first and second class constraints. Here, the Dirac brackets for the second class constraints are evaluated and the Dirac algebra of first class constraints is found to be the usual algebra associated to space-time reparametrizations and tangent space rotations. This e...
