| Abstract: |
| In this paper,we present a class of exactly solvable higher derivative models with and without constraints based on the Pais-Uhlenbeck Oscillator,through which we show explicitly how the constraints remove the Ostrogradski instability brought by higher derivatives.We find the sufficient and necessary condition to establish a stable system with constraints,in which the Lagrangian is involved with 2nd time derivative.We also generalize the investigations of linear systems to a higher derivative system with an arbitrary potential term.We propose a criterion of choosing constraints,which is to eliminate the harmful and retain the favorable in physics from the original dynamic behavior.In the linear case,this criterion would enable us to eliminate the unstable QNMs and retain the stable ones.All these discussions would help us to find a reasonable field theory with higher derivatives. |
