Quantization of Gauge Systems

This is a systematic study of the classical and quantum theories of gauge systems. It starts with Dirac's analysis showing that gauge theories are constrained Hamiltonian systems. The classical…
Central charges in the canonical realization of asymptotic symmetries: An example from three dimensional gravity
- J. D. Brown, M. Henneaux

It is shown that the global charges of a gauge theory may yield a nontrivial central extension of the asymptotic symmetry algebra already at the classical level. This is done by studying three…
Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces
- M. Henneaux, C. Teitelboim
- Physics
- 1 September 1985
Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces are defined by boundary conditions on the gravitational field which obey the following criteria: (i) they are O(3, 2) invariant; (ii) they make the O(3, 2)…

E10 and a small tension expansion of m theory.

- MathematicsPhysical Review Letters
- 30 July 2002
A formal "small tension" expansion of D=11 supergravity near a spacelike singularity is shown to be equivalent, at least up to 30th order in height, to a null geodesic motion in the…
Cosmological Billiards

- Physics, Mathematics
- 20 December 2002
It is shown in detail that the dynamics of the Einstein-dilaton-pform system in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity can be asymptotically described, at a generic spatial point, as a billiard…
The asymptotic dynamics of three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant
- O. Coussaert, M. Henneaux, P. V. Driel
- Physics
- 8 June 1995
Liouville theory is shown to describe the asymptotic dynamics of three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant. This is because (i) Chern - Simons theory with a gauge group…
