On singular Lagrangian underlying the Schrödinger equation

Abstract

We analyze the properties that manifest Hamiltonian nature of the Schrödinger equation and show that it can be considered as originating from singular Lagrangian action (with two second class constraints presented in the Hamiltonian formulation). It is used to show that any solution to the Schrödinger equation with time independent potential can be presented in the form $\Psi =(-\frac{{\hslash }^2}{2m}△+V)\varphi +i\hslash {\partial }_t\varphi$, where the real field $\varphi (t,x^i)$ is some solution to nonsingular Lagrangian theory being specified below. Preservation of probability turns out to be the energy conservation law for the field $\varphi$. After introducing the field into the formalism, its mathematical structure becomes analogous to those of electrodynamics: the real field $\varphi$ turns out to be a kind of potential for a wave function.
