The purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail the Hamiltonian formulation for the compact Gowdy models coupled to massless scalar fields as a necessary first step toward their quantization. We will pay special attention to the coupling of matter and those features that arise for the and topologies that are not present in the well-studied case?in particular the polar constraints that come from the regularity conditions on the metric. As a byproduct of our analysis we will get an alternative… Expand
