On The Quantization Of Constraint Systems: A Lagrangian Approach

Farhang Loran · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2002

It is possible to introduce external time dependent back ground fields in the formulation of a system as fields whose dynamics can not be deduced from Euler Lagrange equations of motion. This method leads to singular Lagrangians for real systems. We discuss quantization of constraint systems in these cases and introduce generalized Gupta-Bleuler quantization. In two examples we show explicitly that this method of quantization leads to true Schrödinger equations.
