Abstract

In order to construct a massive tensor theory with a smooth massless limit, we apply the Batalin-Fradkin algorithm to the ordinary massive tensor theory. By introducing an auxiliary vector field all second-class constraints are converted into first-class ones. We find a gauge-fixing condition which produces a massive tensor theory of desirable property.
