The canonical structure of Podolsky generalized electrodynamics

Abstract: The generalized electrodynamics proposed by Podolsky is analyzed from the Hamiltonian point of view, using Dirac theory for constrained systems. The problem of gauge fixing for the theory is studied in detail and the correct generalization of the radiation gauge is obtained, a subject that has not been examined correctly in the earlier literature. The Dirac brackets for the dynamical variables in this gauge are calculated.

“…The first part of the analysis relies by determining formally the constants Z i under suitable renormalization conditions. Therefore, to this aim, we define the gauge-fixed renormalized Lagrangian, in the gauge choice of the so-called generalized Lorenz condition [16]: Ω [A] = 1 + m −2 P ∂ µ A µ , and also introduce the counter-terms as the following prescription:…”

“…As it has been pointed out in several works [27][28][29][30][31] over the years, it has been clear for a long time that Maxwell's theory is not the only one to describe the electromagnetic field. One of the most successful generalizations is the generalized electrodynamics [27][28][29].…”
