Abstract

We use the method due to Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina, and Tyutin (BFFT) in order to convert second-class into first-class constraints for some quantum mechanics supersymmetric theories. The main point to be considered is that the extended theory, where new auxiliary variables are introduced, has to be supersymmetric too. This leads to some additional restrictions with respect the conventional use of the BFFT formalism.
