Quantization of Fields with Constraints [E-Book] / by Dmitriy M. Gitman, Igor V. Tyutin.
Gauge field theories underlie all models now used in elementary particle physics. These theories refer to the class of singular theories which are also theories with constraints. The quantization of singular theories remains one of the key problems of quantum field theory and is being intensively di...
