L. Tatar et R. Tatar, THE ANTI-BRST (SP(2) COVARIANT) QUANTIZATION FOR CONSTRAINED HAMILTONIAN-SYSTEMS, Physics letters. Section B, 312(1-2), 1993, pp. 125-128
The detailed comparison between the canonical quantisation of gauge th
eories formulated on the basis of the extended BRST symmetry principle
and the Sp(2)-covariant quantisation is carried out in the case of th
e first order action principle. This is accomplished by explicitly exp
ressing the solution of the master equation for the Sp(2)-covariant qu
antisation in terms of the BRST-anti-BRST charges. Complete agreement
is found between both formulations and this conclusion holds for irred
ucible as well as reducible theories.
