We define the Poisson $\\mathfrak{p}$-brackets and $\\mathfrak{\\omega}$-brackets which are the analogues of the Poisson bracket on forms. We formulate the equations of motion of forms in terms of $\\mathfrak{p}$-brackets and $\\mathfrak{\\omega}$-brackets with the $n$-form ${\\cal H}\\omega $. As illustration of our formalism we present two examples: the interacting scalar fields and conformal string theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2000-04-24T19:56:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum field theory", "hamiltonian formalism", "classical field theory", "legendre correspondance", "poisson bracket" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 526282, "adsabs": "2000math.ph...4020H" } } }
