Extended BRST quantization of gauge theories in the generalized canonical formalism. (English) Zbl 0706.70024
Summary: The rules of canonical quantization of gauge theories are formulated on the basis of the extended BRST symmetry principle. The existence of solutions of the generating equations of the gauge algebra is proved. Equivalence between the extended BRST quantization and the standard method of generalized canonical quantization is established. Ward identities corresponding to invariance of a theory under the extended BRST symmetry are obtained.
