Quantum Dirac constraints, Ward identities and path integral in relativistic gauge
Abstract
Quantum Dirac constraints in generic constrained system are solved by directly calculating in the one-loop approximation the path integral with relativistic gauge fixing procedure. The calculations are based on the reduction algorithms for functional determinants extended to gauge theories. Explicit mechanism of transition from relativistic gauge conditions to unitary gauges, participating in the construction of this solution, is revealed by the method of Ward identities.
