Abstract:

We investigate the BRS quantization of a gauge theory in which the Killing metric is replaced with a function of scalar fields. This type of gauge theory bacomes important when we discuss the BRS invariance, the Lagrangian density must contain fourth order terms of FP (anti-) ghost fields. It is also shown that a part of the gauge fields becomes massive and their propagator has the same high-energy behavior as that of massless gauge fields.
