Band theory in the context of the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the one-dimensional periodic potential case, we formulate the condition of Bloch periodicity for the reduced action by using the relation between the wave function and the reduced action established in the context of the equivalence postulate of quantum mechanics. Then, without appealing to the wave function properties, we reproduce the well-known dispersion relations which predict the band structure for the energy spectrum in the Krönig-Penney model.

On the Hamilton-Jacobi Variational Formulation of the Vlasov Equation
In this note we briefly review the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) formulation of Vlasov-like systems. This is a general formulation that applies to the Maxwell-Vlasov system and various guiding center and gyrokinetic theories with any number of species. It applies to both nonrelativistic and relativistic versions of these theories and even to the Vlasov-Einstein system. Indeed, it is quite general and ap...
متن کاملHamilton-Jacobi treatment of fields with constraints
In this paper the Gulers formalism for the systems with finite degrees of freedom is applied to the field theories with constraints. The integrability conditions are investigated and the path integral quantization is performed using the action given by Hamilton-Jacobi formulation. The Proca’s model is investigated in details.
متن کاملSurface terms, angular momentum and Hamilton - Jacobi formalism
Quadratic Lagrangians are introduced adding surface terms to a free particle Lagrangian. Geodesic equations are used in the context of the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation of constrained sysytem. Manifold structure induced by the quadratic Lagrangian is investigated.
متن کاملQuantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation
The nontrivial transformation of the phase space path integral measure under certain discretized analogues of canonical transformations is computed. This Jacobian is used to derive a quantum analogue of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the generating function of a canonical transformation that maps any quantum system to a system with a vanishing Hamiltonian. A formal perturbative solution of th...
متن کاملHamilton–jacobi Theory for Degenerate Lagrangian Systems with Holonomic and Nonholonomic Constraints
We extend Hamilton–Jacobi theory to Lagrange–Dirac (or implicit Lagrangian) systems, a generalized formulation of Lagrangian mechanics that can incorporate degenerate Lagrangians as well as holonomic and nonholonomic constraints. We refer to the generalized Hamilton–Jacobi equation as the Dirac–Hamilton–Jacobi equation. For non-degenerate Lagrangian systems with nonholonomic constraints, the th...
