Hamilton-Jacobi Treatment of Constraint Field Systems

Abstract: Motivated by the Hamilton$-$Jacobi approach of fields with constraints, we analyse the classical structure of three different constrained field systems: (i) the scalar field coupled to two flavors of fermions through Yukawa couplings (ii) the scalar field coupled minimally to the vector potential (iii) the electromagnetic field coupled to a spinor. The equations of motion are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The integrability conditions are investigated. The second and third constrained systems are quantized using canonical path integral formulation based on the Hamilton$-$Jacobi treatment.
