Abstract
The symplectic analysis of a four dimensional BF theory in the context of the Faddeev–Jackiw symplectic approach is performed. It is shown that this method is more economical than Dirac’s formalism. In particular, the complete set of Faddeev–Jackiw constraints and the generalized Faddeev–Jackiw brackets are reported. In addition, we show that the generalized Faddeev–Jackiw brackets and the Dirac ones coincide to each other. Finally, the similarities and advantages between Faddeev–Jackiw method and Dirac’s formalism are briefly discussed.
