Abstract

We quantize the Friedberg-Lee-Pang-Ren (FLPR) model within the framework of Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formalism. We construct the nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) charges using constraints and the fermionic gauge-fixing function by means of admissible gauge conditions. We also derive the BRST invariant effective action (and corresponding symmetries) of the model in both polar and Cartesian coordinates. We demonstrate that the physical states of the system are annihilated by the first-class constraints which is consistent with the Dirac formalism. Moreover, we establish the finite field-dependent BRST (FFBRST) symmetries of the FLPR model. We exhibit the interlink between the BFV-BRST gauge-fixed action and the classical gauge invariant action using FFBRST formulation.
