Dirac reduction revisited
arXiv:nlin/0303014 · doi:10.2991/jnmp.2003.10.4.3
Abstract
The procedure of Dirac reduction of Poisson operators on submanifolds is discussed within a particularly useful special realization of the general Marsden-Ratiu reduction procedure. The Dirac classification of constraints on 'first-class' constraints and 'second-class' constraints is reexamined.
