摘要:We have analyzed the null-plane canonical structure of Podolsky’s electromagnetic theory. As
a theory that contains higher order derivatives in the Lagrangian function, it was necessary to
redefine the canonical momenta related to the field variables. We were able to find a set of first
and second-class constraints, and also to derive the field equations of the system.
