On incompleteness of classical field theory
Published 2009-05-24Version 1
Classical field theory is adequately formulated as Lagrangian theory on fibre bundles and graded manifolds. One however observes that non-trivial higher stage Noether identities and gauge symmetries of a generic reducible degenerate Lagrangian field theory fail to be defined. Therefore, such a field theory can not be quantized.
