Compatibility conditions for gauge transformations

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

A new method is proposed for the construction of Lagrangian gauge transformations, the number of which matches that of independent primary first-class constraints in phase space. By imposing compatibility conditions with Lagrangian constraints, dynamical symmetries depending on arbitrary functions of time are found.
