There is no assumption that first class constraints satisfy a closed algebra. The explicit form of the projection map is obtained at least for irreducible first class constraints. Using this map we give a method to obtain gauge fixing conditions such that the set of abelian first class constraints and gauge fixing conditions satisfy the symplectic algebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-09-22T07:40:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "abelianization", "first class constraints satisfy", "abelian first class constraints", "irreducible first class constraints", "gauge fixing conditions satisfy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 595968 } } }
