Finite BRST-BFV transformations for dynamical systems with second-class constraints

Abstract

We study finite field dependent BRST-BFV transformations for dynamical systems with first- and second-class constraints within the generalized Hamiltonian formalism. We find explicitly their Jacobians and the form of a solution to the compensation equation necessary for generating an arbitrary finite change of gauge-fixing functionals in the path integral.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, references added, Discussion extended, v3: minor corrections, published versio
