Abstract

We newly apply the improved Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin(BFT) Hamiltonian method to the O(3) nonlinear sigma model, and directly obtain the compact form of nontrivial first class Hamiltonian by introducing the BFT physical fields. Furthermore, following the BFV formalism, we derive the BRST invariant gauge fixed Lagrangian through the standard path-integral procedure. Finally, by introducing collective coordinates, we also study a semi-classical quantization of soliton background to conclude that the spectrum of zero modes are unchanged through the BFT procedure.

The Batalin-Tyutin Formalism on the Collective Coordinates Quantisation of the SU(2) Skyrme Model

Jorge Ananias Neto, Wilson Oliveira (1995)

We apply The Batalin-Tyutin constraint formalism of converting a second class system into a first class system for the rotational quantisation of the SU(2) Skyrme model. We obtain the first class constraint and the Hamiltonian in the extended phase space. The vacuum functional is constructed and evaluated in the unitary gauge and a multiplier dependent gauge. Finally, we discuss the spectrum of the extended theory. The use of the BT formalism on the collective coordinates quantisation of the SU(2) Skyrme model leads an additional term in the usual quantum Hamiltonian that can improve the phenomenology predicted by the Skyrme model.
