Dynamics of constrained systems (Q1109386)

The dynamics on the final constraint submanifold of a constrained system is discussed: a system of equations of motion is induced by the initial ones, whose consistency originates this submanifold, and there is also a dynamics which is the geometrically natural one of this (presymplectic) submanifold. Their compatibility and possible equivalence are analyzed. As a consequence, another justification of Dirac's conjecture is obtained.
