A canonical structure for classical field theories

Abstract: A general scheme of constructing a canonical structure (i.e. Poisson bracket, canonical fields) in classical field theories is proposed. The theory is manifestly independent of the particular choice of an initial space-like surface in space-time. The connection between dynamics and canonical structure is established. Applications to theories with a gauge and constraints are of special interest. Several physical examples are given.Recently one of us W. Szczyrba, using the general theory elaborated in the presen… Show more

“…We can also formalize the Multisymplectic Geometry with an extension of the Poincaré-Cartan invariant integrals. Frédéric Hélein has observed the fact that different theories could cohabitate was considered jointly by T. Lepage [97], P. Dedecker [98][99] and J. Kijowski [32][33][34]. The Lepage-Dedecker theory was developed by F. Hélein [101], and the modern formulation using the multisymplectic (n + 1)-form as the fundamental structure of the theory starts with J. Kijowski papers.…”

“…The analysis of this problem can be dealt by looking for all vector fields ξ 0 = X µ (x, φ, e, p) ∂ ∂x µ + Φ a (x, φ, e, p) ∂ ∂φ a + E(x, φ, e, p) ∂ ∂e + P satisfying (24) and (25). For simplicity we will assume that X µ = 0 (this will exclude stress-energy tensor observable forms X µ ∂ ∂x µ θ 0 , for X µ constant).…”

“…In the Lagrangian framework, a variety of approaches have been proposed: pseudotensors [9], Komar integrals [10], Noether's method applied to linearized field equations [11,12,13], a quasi-local approach [14,15] and covariant phase space methods [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. Recent related work can be found for instance in [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33].…”
