Abstract
We present a rigorous discussion for abelian BF theories in which the base manifold of the U(1) bundle is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. T he theory has an infinite number of stages of reducibility. We specify conditions on the base manifold under which the covariant quantizatio n of the system can be performed unambiguously. Applications of the fo rmulation to the superparticle and the supertstring are also discussed .
