Abstract: (Springer)
A general scheme of constructing a canonical structure (i.e. Poisson bracket, canonical fields) in classical field theories is proposed. The theory is manifestly independent of the particular choice of an initial space-like surface in space-time. The connection between dynamics and canonical structure is established. Applications to theories with a gauge and constraints are of special interest. Several physical examples are given.
