The equations of motion of a singular system with time dependent constraints are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The integrability conditions for the relativistic particle in a plane wave lead us to obtain the canonical phase-space coordinates with out using any gauge fixing condition. As a result of the quantization, we obtain the Klein-Gordon theory for a particle in a plane wave. The path integral quantization for this system is obtained using the canonical path integral formulation method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-02-13T21:48:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "time-dependent constraints", "canonical quantization", "canonical path integral formulation method", "plane wave", "total differential equations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 553160 } } }
