Gaugeon Formalism for Spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger Gauge Field

Abstract

We provide a gauge covariant formalism of the canonically quantized theory of spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger gauge field. The theory admits a quantum gauge transformation by which we can shift the gauge fixing parameter. The quantum gauge transformation does not change the BRST charge. Thus, the physical Hilbert space is trivially independent of the gauge fixing parameter.Comment: 13 pages, no figures, LaTe
