Symplectic geometry and (super-)Poincare algebra in geometrical theories
Description
Using symplectic geometry, we study realizations of Poincare symmetries in Yang-Mills theory, general relativity, and string field theory. We derive expressions for Poincare charges and, focusing on string field theory, show that they provide us with a homomorphism from Poincare algebra into the algebra of continuous functions on the phase space.
