First-Order Lagrangians and Path-Integral Quantization in the t-J Model

Abstract

By using the supersymmetric version of the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic formalism, a family of first-order constrained Lagrangians for the t-J model is found. In this approach the Hubbard ${\hat X}$-operators are used as field variables. In this framework, we first study the spinless fermion model which satisfies the graded algebra spl(1,1). Later on, in order to satisfy the Hubbard ${\hat X}$-operators commutation rules satisfiying the graded algebra spl(2,1), the number and kind of constraints that must be included in a classical first-order Lagrangian formalism for the t-J model are found. This model is also analyzed in the context of the path- integral formalism, and so the correlation generating functional and the effective Lagrangian are constructed.
