Pm. Lavrov et al., GAUGE DEPENDENCE IN GENERAL GAUGE-THEORIES WITH COMPOSITE FIELDS IN THE METHOD OF SP(2) COVARIANT QUANTIZATION, Physics of atomic nuclei, 60(6), 1997, pp. 1020-1027
The Batalin-Lavrov-Tyutin formalism is used to study the gauge depende
nce of general gauge theories with composite particles. Ward identitie
s are obtained. It is proven that the generating functional for vertex
Green's functions (effective action) is gauge-independent on the mass
shell.
