Derivation of reduced two-dimensional fluid models via Dirac’s theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems

چکیده
We present a Hamiltonian derivation of a class of reduced plasma two-dimensional fluid models, an example being the Charney–Hasegawa–Mima equation. These models are obtained from the same parent Hamiltonian model, which consists of the ion momentum equation coupled to the continuity equation, by imposing dynamical constraints. It is shown that the Poisson bracket associated with these reduced models is the Dirac bracket obtained from the Poisson bracket of the parent model. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3356103

Casimir invariants and the Jacobi identity in Dirac’s theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems
Abstract. We consider constrained Hamiltonian systems in the framework of Dirac’s theory. We show that the Jacobi identity results from imposing that the constraints are Casimir invariants, regardless of the fact that the matrix of Poisson brackets between constraints is invertible or not. We point out that the proof we provide ensures the validity of the Jacobi identity everywhere in phase spa...

متن کاملCanonical structure of topologically massive gravity with a cosmological constant
We study the canonical structure of three-dimensional topologically massive gravity with a cosmological constant, using the full power of Dirac’s method for constrained Hamiltonian systems. It is found that the dimension of the physical phase space is two per spacetime point, which corresponds to a single Lagrangian degree of freedom. The analysis of the AdS asymptotic region reveals a remarkab...
متن کاملHamilton-Jacobi quantization of the finite dimensional systems with constraints
The Hamiltonian treatment of constrained systems in Gülers formalism leads us to the total differential equations in many variables. These equations are integrable if the corresponding system of partial differential equations is a Jacobi system. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the quantization of the finite dimensional systems with constraints using the canonical formalism introduc...
