Abstract

In this paper we reformulate Abelian and non-Abelian noninvariant systems as gauge invariant theories using a new constraint conversion scheme, developed on the symplectic framework. This conversion method is not plagued by the ambiguity problem that torments the BFFT and iterative methods and also it seems more powerful since it does not require special modifications to handle with non-Abelian systems.
