Covariant Quantization of the Electromagnetic Field in the Landau Gauge

Noboru Nakanishi

Applied Mathematics Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, Long Island, New York, U.S.A.

(Received February 3, 1966)

Abstract:

A new covariant quantization of the free electromagnetic field is proposed corresponding to the fact that a massless vector bound state in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism is accompanied by a dipole ghost. The Lorentz condition is formulated as an operator identity.
