Boundary conditions as constraints
Abstract
A new method to compute the symplectic structure of a quantum field theory with non trivial boundary conditions is proposed. Following the suggestion in ho:gnus, ardalan, we regard that the boundary conditions are second class constraints in the sense of the Dirac's method. However, we show that this proposal is more useful if we consider an inverse of the Holographic map between a theory defined in the boundary to another with constraints but without boundary.
