Conversion of second-class constraints and resolving the zero-curvature conditions in the geometric quantization theory

Abstract

In the approach to geometric quantization based on the conversion of second-class constraints, we resolve the corresponding nonlinear zero-curvature conditions for the extended symplectic potential. From the zero-curvature conditions, we deduce new linear equations for the extended symplectic potential. We show that solutions of the new linear equations also satisfy the zero-curvature condition. We present a functional solution of these new linear equations and obtain the corresponding path integral representation. We investigate the general case of a phase superspace where boson and fermion coordinates are present on an equal basis.
