Canonical coordinates — In mathematics and classical mechanics, canonical coordinates are particular sets of coordinates on the phase space, or equivalently, on the cotangent manifold of a manifold. Canonical coordinates arise naturally in physics in the study of… … Wikipedia
Canonical general relativity — In physics, canonical quantum gravity is an attempt to quantize the canonical formulation of general relativity (or canonical gravity). It is a Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein s general theory of relativity. The basic theory was outlined by… … Wikipedia
ADM formalism — The ADM Formalism developed by Arnowitt, Deser and Misner is a Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity. The formalism supposes that spacetime is foliated into a family of spacelike surfaces Sigma t, labeled by their time coordinate t, and… … Wikipedia
Schrödinger field — In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, a Schrödinger field is a quantum field which obeys the Schrödinger equation. While any situation described by a Schrödinger field can also be described by a many body Schrödinger equation for… … Wikipedia
Heisenberg group — In mathematics, the Heisenberg group, named after Werner Heisenberg, is the group of 3×3 upper triangular matrices of the form or its generalizations under the operation of matrix multiplication. Elements a, b, c can be taken from some… … Wikipedia
