Equivalence of Dirac quantization and Schwinger's action principle quantization

  • 1. Rochester Univ., NY (USA). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

We show that the method of Dirac quantization is equivalent to Schwinger's action principle quantization. The relation between the Lagrange undetermined multipliers in Schwinger's method and Dirac's constraint bracket matrix is established and it is explicitly shown that the two methods yield identical (anti)commutators. This is demonstrated in the non-trivial example of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in superspace. (orig.)
