Symplectic structure for elastic and chiral conducting cosmic string models
Symplectic structure for elastic and chiral conducting cosmic string models
This article is based on the covariant canonical formalism and corresponding symplectic structure on phase space developed by Witten, Zuckerman, and others in the context of field theory. After recalling the basic principles of this procedure, we construct the conserved bilinear symplectic current for generic elastic string models. These models …
