Branched Quantization
We propose a method for quantization of Lagrangians for which the Hamiltonian, as a function of momentum, is a branched function, possibly with cusps. Appropriate boundary conditions, which we identify, ensure unitary time evolution. In special cases a dual (canonical) transformation maps the proble...
