BFT Embedding of Second-Class Systems

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

The embedding procedure of Batalin, Fradkin, and Tyutin, which allows to convert a second-class system into first-class, is pushed beyond the formal level. We explicitly construct, in all cases, the variables of the converted first-class theory in terms of those of the corresponding second-class one. Moreover, we only conclude about the equivalence between these two different kind of theories after compairing their respective spectra of excitations.
