On the quantization of an essentially nonlinear field

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

An essentially nonlinear field implies here a field obeying a certain equation with characteristics depending on the field itself or its derivatives. The simplest example of quantization of an essentially nonlinear system with one degree of freedom is first considered. Then a method of quantization of the essentially nonlinear field of the type of the Born-Infeld field is described.

Riassunto

Un campo essenzialmente non lineare implica un campo che obbedisce ad una equazione con caratteristiche dipendenti dal campo stesso o dalle sue derivate. Si considera dapprima l’esempio più semplice di quantizzazione di un sistema essenzialmente non lineare con un grado di libertà. Successivamente si descrive un metodo di quantizzazione del campo essenzialmente non lineare del tipo del campo di Born-Infeld.

(4), where it is shown that the success in solving an essentially nonlinear problem is based on the transition from the Cartesian co-ordinate system (x, t) to the curvilinear one (α, β) the axes of which coincide with the directions of the characteristic curves.
