A gauge model describing N relativistic particles bound by linear forces

Journal Article · · Mod. Phys. Lett. A; (United States)
A relativistic model of N particles bound by linear forces is obtained by applying the gauging procedure to the linear canonical symmetries of a simple (rudimentary) nonrelativistic N-particle Lagrangian extended to relativistic phase space. The new (gauged) Lagrangian is formally Poincare invariant, the Hamiltonian is a linear combination of first-class constraints which are closed with respect to Poisson brackets and generate the localized symmetries. The gauge potentials appear as the Lagrange multipliers of the constraints. Gauge fixing and quantization of the model are also briefly discussed.
