The Gross–Pitaevskii equation describes a dilute interacting condensate through a complex order parameter $\psi$, normalized so that $|\psi {|}^2$ is number density. Repulsive contact interactions have $g>0$. In a frame rotating at the condensate frequency, the operator includes $-\mu$, with chemical potential $\mu$. It is generated by a Hamiltonian functional; its homogeneous positive-density state has $n_0=\mu /g$ when $g,\mu >0$.

Along a trajectory generated by the Hamiltonian $H$,Thus a time-independent observable is conserved exactly when its Poisson bracket with $H$ vanishes.

A Hamiltonian density is a local integrand for the field-theory Hamiltonian. For canonical fields with invertible velocity-momentum relation it is the Legendre transform in mechanics of the Lagrangian density, summing over all conjugate field components. Gauge theories require constraints and multiplier terms as well.

Hamiltonian flow is the phase-space evolution generated by Hamilton's equations for a fixed Hamiltonian.

For independent integrals $G_1=H,G_2,\dots ,G_r$, the Hamiltonian $K=H+\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_j{G}_j^2$ agrees with $H$ to first order on the common zero level. On a nonempty level $G=c\ne 0$, the vector-field difference is ${\sum }_j{c}_j{X}_{G_j}$ and is nowhere zero by independence of the differentials. Nonemptiness is necessary if one expresses the conclusion as inequality between restricted vector fields.

A dynamical system on a symplectic manifold whose vector field is generated by a Hamiltonian. In canonical variables it obeys Hamilton's equations.

A principal function $S(q,t)$ obeys the Hamilton-Jacobi equation ${\partial }_{t}S+H(q,{\partial }_{q}S,t)=0$. A complete solution generates canonical momentum components $p_j={\partial }_{j}S$ and local canonical coordinates constant along motion. For a time-independent Hamiltonian, $S=W(q)-Et$ reduces the equation to $H(q,{\partial }_{q}W)=E$. Additive separation of $W$ yields conserved separation constants, subject to local regularity and independence.

For a differentiable normalized eigenstate of a differentiable self-adjoint Hamiltonian, differentiate $H\psi =E\psi$ and pair with $\psi$. The terms involving ${\psi }^{\prime }$ cancel because $H$ is self-adjoint, leaving the stated formula. It turns energy derivatives into observable expectations. A smoothly chosen eigenbranch and suitable operator-domain regularity are required, particularly at degeneracies or crossings.

The Hamiltonian $(v^2-x^2)/2$ gives $\dot{x}=v$, $\dot{v}=x$. Its characteristic flow map is multiplication by $A_t$, with $A_t{A}_s=A_{t+s}$ and determinant one. The backward map is $A_{-t}$. This expanding-contracting linear flow preserves phase-space Lebesgue measure and every finite-$p$ integral of a transported density, despite stretching its level sets.

An integral of motion is a function on phase space that remains constant along every trajectory. If it has no explicit time dependence, $I(q,p)$ is an integral exactly when its Poisson bracket with the Hamiltonian vanishes: $\{I,H\}=0$.

For a real compact semisimple algebra, $B=-\kappa$ is a positive internal metric. With signature $(+---)$ and connection $D_{\mu }={\partial }_{\mu }+A_{\mu }$, the healthy Lagrangian is $\mathcal{L}=-B(F_{\mu \nu },F^{\mu \nu })/(4g^2)=\kappa (F_{\mu \nu },F^{\mu \nu })/(4g^2)$. Gauge invariance follows from Killing-form invariance and ${\delta }_{X}F=ϵ[X,F]$. The physical Hamiltonian density is $[B(E_i,E_i)+B(B_i,B_i)]/(2g^2)$ after imposing the Gauss law constraint in gauge theory and treating the spatial boundary flux appropriately. An Abelian factor needs a separate positive invariant metric because its Killing form vanishes.

The linear spin-wave approximation expands a Holstein–Primakoff transformation about a classical ordered state and retains the quadratic oscillator Hamiltonian. It gives the leading order-$S$ excitation energies above the order-$S^2$ classical energy. In a Heisenberg antiferromagnet, first make a bipartite spin rotation. The approximation also predicts a zero-point reduction of the order parameter; infrared-divergent quantum depletion of Néel order signals that the assumed ordered state is not a valid thermodynamic starting point.

A Nambu spinor groups an annihilation operator with an opposite-momentum creation operator to express pairing in a quadratic Hamiltonian as a matrix problem. Its components are not independent: the spinor at $-k$ is related to conjugated components at $k$. This redundancy must be accounted for when summing energies and normal ordering constants. Component phases are a convention and change the displayed off-diagonal matrix entries.

Spatial integration of the free Hamiltonian density cancels particle-antiparticle pair terms through $E_p^2-{\mathbf{p}}^2-m^2=0$. The raw Hamiltonian is $\int d{\Pi }_p{E}_p(a^{†}a+b{b}^{†})$. Normal ordering removes the field-independent vacuum energy and gives $H=\int d{\Pi }_p{E}_p(a^{†}a+b^{†}b)$. Both creation operators increase the energy by $E_p$, so a negative-frequency field mode represents a positive-energy antiparticle, not a negative-energy state.
