Gauge Theory of Massive Tensor Field
S. Hamamoto · Progress of Theoretical Physics · 1996
In order to construct a massive tensor theory with a smooth massless limit, we apply the Batalin-Fradkin algorithm to the ordinary massive tensor theory. By introducing an auxiliary vector field, all second-class constraints are converted into first-class ones. We find a gauge-fixing condition which produces a massive tensor theory with the desirable property, though the final expression is left non-covariant.
