Hamiltonian reduction of the $U_{EM}(1)$ gauged three flavour WZW model

Authors

Description

The three-flavour Wess-Zumino model coupled to electromagnetism is treated as a constraint system using the Faddeev-Jackiw method. Expanding into series of powers of the Goldstone boson fields and keeping terms up to second and third order we obtain Coulomb-gauge hamiltonian densities.
