Fist and second order constraints in a system?

AI Thread Summary
Understanding first and second class constraints in systems can be challenging, as evidenced by the difficulty experienced with Goldstein's work. Dirac's lectures have been helpful, but additional resources are sought for better visualization and problem-solving. A recommended book is "Lectures on Constrained Systems" by Ghanashyam Date, which is available on arXiv, although it may not cover all requested topics comprehensively. Further exploration of constraint theory is encouraged to enhance understanding. Accessing diverse materials can significantly aid in grasping these complex concepts.

I've tried with Goldstein but no luck, i need to understand how the constraint, especially the second class act on system, i also referred Dirac's lecture, they were quiet good, but if u can suggest some books which can help me learn first and second class constraints with examples and problems that will help me visualize the concept it will really help a lot...thanks in advance

"Lectures on Constrained Systems" Ghanashyam Date. I think you can get it on arxiv. It has some stuff, but maybe not enough for what your asking for.
 
Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
