Multisymplectic methods in field theory with symmetries and BRST

Student thesis: Doctoral ThesisDoctor of Philosophy

Abstract

The generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics to covariant Hamiltonian eld theory on multiphase space is given an accessible exposition as a practical method covering various topics, and a classical multiphase space BRST formalism is developed for systems with symmetries and applied to a system with secondary constraints (Yang-Mills).
