ON THE QUANTIZATION OF FIELD THEORIES WITH SECOND CLASS CONSTRAINTS

Abstract
The quantization of a class of dynamical systems subject to second class constraints that allows an analysis in terms of associated gauge theories with first class constraints is discussed. The comparison with early approaches is done. The approach is applied to the self-dual formulation of spin one massive excitations in 3 dimensions. The quantum equivalence to the corresponding gauge invariant Chern–Simons topological massive model is analyzed.
