BFV analysis of the $U_{EM}(1)$ gauged SU(3) WZW model and the Faddeev-Jackiw approach

The four dimensional SU(3) WZW model coupled to electromagnetism is treated as a constrained system in the context of Batalin-Fradkin- Vilkovisky formalism. It is shown that this treatment is equivalent to the Faddeev-Jackiw (FJ) approach. It is also shown that the field redefinitions that transform the fields of the model into BRST and $σ$ closed are actually the Darboux's transformations used in the FJ formalism.

BRST analysis of the gauged SU(2) WZW model and Darboux's transformations

The four dimensional SU(2) WZW model coupled to elecromagnetism is treated as a constraint system in the context of the BFV approach. We show that the Darboux's transformations which are used to diagonalize the canonical one-form in the Faddeev-Jackiw formalism, transform the fields of the model into BRST invariant ones. The same analysis is also carried out in the case of spinor electrodynamics.

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

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.

Application of the Faddeev-Jackiw formalism to the gauged WZW model

The two-flavor Wess-Zumino model coupled to electromagnetism is treated as a constraint system using the Faddeev-Jackiw method. Expanding into series of powers of the pion fields and keeping terms up to second and third order we obtain Coulomb- gauge Lagrangeans containing non-local terms.
