"This book is a systematic study of the classical and quantum theories of gauge systems. It starts with Dirac's analysis showing that gauge theories are constrained Hamiltonian systems. The classical foundations of BRST theory are then laid out with a review of the necessary con…
The concept of gauge-natural bundles is introduced. They are a generalization of natural bundles and they provide a natural formal context for the discussion of gauge field theories. It is shown that such bundles correspond to actions of certain Lie groups on smooth manifolds an…
