Histories Electromagnetism

Working within the HPO (History Projection Operator) Consistent Histories formalism, we follow the work of Savvidou on (scalar) field theory and that of Savvidou and Anastopolous on (first-class) constrained systems to write a histories theory (both classical and quantum) of Electromagnetism. We focus particularly on the foliation-dependence of the histories phase space/Hilbert space and the action thereon of the two Poincare groups that arise in histories field theory. We quantise in the spirit of the Dirac scheme for constrained systems.
