Gravity, Fine-Structure Constant and Natural Units -- some Thoughts based on Dimensional Analysis --
Robi Banerjee
Here we discuss direct links of the number of fundamental dimensions to the fundamental natural constants using simple arguments of dimensional analysis \corr{based on Maxwell's di…
Master Equation for Lagrangian Gauge Symmetries
R. Banerjee, H. J. Rothe, K. D. Rothe
Using purely Hamiltonian methods we derive a simple differential equation for the generator of the most general local symmetry transformation of a Lagrangian. The restrictions on t…
Hamiltonian Approach to Lagrangian Gauge Symmetries
R. Banerjee, H. J. Rothe, K. D. Rothe
We reconsider the problem of finding all local symmetries of a Lagrangian. Our approach is completely Hamiltonian without any reference to the associated action. We present a simpl…
Bosonisation in Three-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory
R. Banerjee
We show in three dimensions, using functional integral techniques, the equivalence between the partition functions of the massive Thirring model and a gauge theory with two gauge f…
On the Equivalence of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons Theory and a Self-Dual Model
R. Banerjee, H. J. Rothe, K. D. Rothe
We study the connection between the Green functions of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and a self-dual model by starting from the phase-space path integral representation of the De…
BATALIN-FRADKIN-TYUTIN EMBEDDING OF A SELF-DUAL MODEL AND THE MAXWELL-CHERN-SIMONS THEORY
R. Banerjee, Heinz J. Rothe
We convert the self-dual model of Townsend, Pilch, and Nieuwenhuizen to a first-class system using the generalized canonical formalism of Batalin, Fradkin, and Tyutin and show that…
