Batalin-Tyutin Quantization of the Self-Dual Massive Theory in Three Dimensions

Abstract

We quantize the self-dual massive theory by using the Batalin-Tyutin Hamiltonian method, which systematically embeds second class constraint system into first class one in the extended phase space by introducing the new fields. Through this analysis we obtain simultaneously the St\"uckelberg scalar term related to the explicit gauge-breaking effect and the new type of Wess-Zumino action related to the Chern-Simons term.Comment: 17 pages, SOGANG-HEP 191/9
