Hamiltonian formulation and BRS quantization of the fermionic string in the covariant gauge

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The canonical formalism for fermion string theory is constructed in a covariant way following Dirac's prescription. The second-class constraints between fermionic fields and their conjugate momenta require the Dirac brackets. The algebra of the constraints is found, which is reduced to the superconformal algebra at an orthonormal gauge. Through the Batalin, Fradkin, and Vilkovisky method of the Becchi-Rouet-Stora- (BRS-) invariant formalism, the (classical) BRS charge and the generating functional are obtained.
