On the Quantization of Reducible Gauge Systems

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

Reducible gauge theories with constraints linear in the momenta are quantized. The equivalence of the reduced phase space quantization, Dirac quantization and BRST quantization is established. The ghosts of ghosts are found to play a crucial role in the equivalence proof.
