Consistent elimination of redundant second-class constraints
- 1. Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). Faculte des Sciences
Description
An elementary criterium for the consistent elimination of redundant second-class constraints is given. Failure to fulfil this criterium leads to inconsistencies which are pointed out. A naive covariant separation of first-class and second-class constraints for the superstring does not meet the criterium and hence is not yet acceptable. Similar considerations apply also to the supermembrame. (orig.)
