Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00014.] The term ``multitemporal approach originated from dynamical theories of particles with action-at-a-distance, treating the time parameter along each particle worldline as an individual variable. In the sense of a formal analogy, similar ideas can be applied to Hamiltonian systems with constraints, including the infinite dimensional case. In the present paper, the author reviews this approach and its results achieved so far and addresses some open problems, putting some emphasis on the question of how to characterize Dirac variables in gauge theories. Unfortunately, the paper is not very clearly organized, and there is some danger of losing the thread of the story for an abundance in words.
