Can we look at the quantisation rules as constraints?

چکیده
In this paper we explore the idea of looking at the Dirac quantisation conditions as h̄-dependent constraints on the tangent bundle to phase-space. Starting from the path-integral version of classical mechanics and using the natural Poisson brackets structure present in the cotangent bundle to the tangent bundle of phasespace, we handle the above constraints using the standard theory of Dirac for constrained systems. The hope is to obtain, as total Hamiltonian, the Moyal operator of time-evolution and as Dirac brackets the Moyal ones. Unfortunately the program fails indicating that something is missing. We put forward at the end some ideas for future work which may overcome this failure.

Poisson-Lie Structures and Quantisation with Constraints
We develop here a simple quantisation formalism that make use of Lie algebra properties of the Poisson bracket. When the brackets {H,φi} and {φi, φj}, where H is the Hamiltonian and φi are primary and secondary constraints, can be expressed as functions of H and φi themselves, the Poisson bracket defines a Poisson-Lie structure. When this algebra has a finite dimension a system of first order p...
متن کاملQuantisation, Representation and Reduction; How Should We Interpret the Quantum Hamiltonian Constraints of Canonical Gravity?
Hamiltonian constraints feature in the canonical formulation of general relativity. Unlike typical constraints they cannot be associated with a reduction procedure leading to a non-trivial reduced phase space and this means the physical interpretation of their quantum analogues is ambiguous. In particular, can we assume that “quantisation commutes with reduction” and treat the promotion of thes...

The robust increase in mental disorders, elevated use of sedatives and increased number of psychiatric hospitals, even in developed countries, indicate the need for preparing the human mind against tribulations. Although industrial advances have provided mankind with comfort, they have also increased the level of stress and psychological traumas. Here, the question arises as how we can free ind...
متن کاملDeformation Quantisation of Constrained Systems
We study the deformation quantisation (Moyal quantisation) of general constrained Hamiltonian systems. It is shown how second class constraints can be turned into first class quantum constraints. This is illustrated by the O(N) non-linear σ-model. Some new light is also shed on the Dirac bracket. Furthermore, it is shown how classical constraints not in involution with the classical Hamiltonian...
متن کاملUsing linguistic knowledge to improve the design of low-bit rate LSF quantisation
In this paper we investigate an alternative approach to the design of low-bit rate (LBR) quantisation. This approach incorporates phonetic information into the structure of Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) codebooks. In prior work vector quantisation (VQ) has been used to quantise stochastic processes. Speech signals can, however, be described in terms of phonetic segments and linguistic rules. A ...
