uncover some subtle properties. An interesting general issue, not yet investigated, is how the semi-classical limit is modified by a change in the Hilbert space metric. In the coherent state approach to the classical limit, the symplectic 2-form associated to the classical dynamics clearly depends on t

cond class constraints cannot be separated from the first class constraints in a Lorentz covariant way, and this greatly complicates any attempt at Lorentz covariant quantization, as it does for the GS superstring. 14 EFTA00614988 Intellectual Merit The goal of this project is to further the underst

string action exists only for spacetime dimensions D = 3,4,6,10. As for the RNS string, quantization of the light-cone gauge-fixed action preserves Lorentz invariance if D = 10 but not otherwise for D > 4. Recently, it was shown that the Lorentz invariance, and spacetime supersymmetry, of the superstrin

We can mention that one reason to suppose this is the physical choice is that there is a basis in the Hilbert space for a free relativistic particle in which x' and T are both sharply defined, while is there is no basis that simultaneously diagonalizes t an

description in Bob's frame we make a pure boost, using (6) and (7). We note that, just as in special relativity, it is completely unambiguous what Lorentz transformation to use; this is fixed by the requirement that the origin of Bob's coordinates coincide with the origin of Alice's coordinates.
