Synopsis

This book is an introduction to the field of constrained Hamiltonian systems and their quantization, a topic which is of central interest to theoretical physicists who wish to obtain a deeper understanding of the quantization of gauge theories, such as describing the fundamental interactions in nature. Beginning with the early work of Dirac, the book covers the main developments in the field up to more recent topics, such as the field antifield formalism of Batalin and Vilkovisky, including a short discussion of how gauge anomalies may be incorporated into this formalism. All topics are well illustrated with examples emphasizing points of central interest. The book should enable graduate students to follow the literature on this subject without much problems, and to perform research in this field.

Revue de presse

This is an interesting book, primarily intended for advanced master's and PhD students in theoretical physics, but which may also be appreciated by more experienced researchers in the field ... The proofs of most statements are spelled out in great detail and the theoretical development is moreover supplemented with many illustrative examples. --Mathematical Reviews

The book is well-written and is relevant for theoretical physicists and also for geometers working in mechanics. --Zentralblatt MATH
