@article{Han2010OnTR, title={On the relation between rigging inner product and master constraint direct integral decomposition}, author={Muxin Han and Thomas Thiemann}, journal={Journal of Mathematical Physics}, year={2010}, volume={51}, pages={092501-092501} }
Canonical quantization of constrained systems with first-class constraints via Dirac’s operator constraint method proceeds by the theory of Rigged Hilbert spaces, sometimes also called refined algebraic quantization. This method can work when the constraints form a Lie algebra. When the constraints only close with nontrivial structure functions, the Rigging map can no longer be defined. To overcome this obstacle, the master constraint method has been proposed which replaces the individual…
