Existence Theorem for the Effective Gauge Algebra in the Generalized Canonical Formalism With Abelian Conversion of Second-Class Constraints

Abstract: The existence of a solution to generating equations for the effective gauge algebra with Abelian conversion of second-class constraints is established. The characteristic arbitrariness of this solution with given initial Hamiltonian and constraints is also studied.

“…We have discussed a systematic method, within the Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina and Tyutin (BFFT) [2,3] approach, of converting the massive Yang-Mills theory to a gauge invariant theory by extending the phase space. Exploiting an intelligent choice for the symplectic matrix ω ab and the generating matrix X ab , the infinite number of iterative corrections necessary for obtaining the strongly involutive constraints were considerably simplified.…”

“…There are some approaches to perform such a conversion, like BFT method [30][31][32][33][34], the symplectic formalism [25,[35][36][37], and the Noether dualization technique [38][39][40]. As we mentioned before, in order to gauge a system with second-class constraints, we use the symplectic approach in order to embed a non-invariant system in an extended phasespace [41][42][43].…”

“…It is important to emphasize that there exists another way, alternative to the procedure of Ref. [13], of handling the secondclass constraints which consists in replacing the second-class constraints by an equivalent set of first-class constraints enlarging the phase space of the system following the BatalinTyutin procedure [14,15]. Once this has been achieved, the problem consists in building the Hamilton-Jacobi theory for systems with first-class constraints, which is well-known [12].…”
