We study the deformation describing a mapping any dynamical system with irreducible first-class constraints in the phase space into another dynamical system with first-class constraints. It is shown that such a deformation problem can be effectively explored in the framework of the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formalism. The basic objects of this formalism are the BRST-BFV charge and a generalized Hamiltonian that satisfy the defining equations in the extended phase space in terms of (super)Poisson brackets. Solution to the deformation problem is found in terms of a (super)canonical transformation with a special generating function which is explicitly established. It is proved that this generating function is defined by a single arbitrary function which depends only on coordinates of initial dynamical system. To illustrate the developed approach, we have constructed a non-local deformation of the Abelian gauge theory into a non-local non-Abelian gauge theory whose local sector coincides with the Yang-Mills theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
