EXACT CANONICALLY CONJUGATE MOMENTA APPROACH TO AN SU(N) QUANTUM SYSTEM

Abstract

The collective field formalism by Jevicki and Sakita is a useful approach to the problem of treating general planar diagrams involved in an SU (N) symmetric quantum system. To approach this problem, standing on the Tomonaga spirit we also previously developed a collective description of an SU (N) symmetric Hamiltonian. However, this description has the following difficulties: (i) Collective momenta associated with the time derivatives of collective variables are not exact canonically conjugate to the collective variables; (ii) The collective momenta are not independent of each other. We propose exact canonically conjugate momenta to the collective variables with the aid of the integral equation method developed by Sunakawa et al. A set of exact canonical variables which are derived by the first quantized language is regarded as a natural extension of the Sunakawa et al.'s to the case for the SU (N) symmetric quantum system. A collective Hamiltonian is represented in terms of the exact canonical variables up to the order of [Formula: see text].
