Second-class constraints and quantization on the light cone
Keyword(s):
Quantization on a surface orthogonal to a fixed lightlike vector leads to a set of second-class constraints in addition to the usual first-class constraints encountered in the conventional quantization procedure. This leads to an additional ghost field in the effective Lagrangian, but it is argued that this ghost field decouples in any computation of radiative corrections and does not enter the Becchi–Rouet–Stora identities.
