The three-dimensional Abelian gauge theory having the Chern-Simon term is studied. When matter current is absent, the gauge field in covariant gauge is explicitly expressed in terms of asymptotic fields. It is shown that the mechanism of mass generation can be understood as a kind of the Higgs mechanism.

We consider the implementation of a properly modified form of the Fock–Schwinger gauge condition in a general non-Abelian gauge theory in the context of the BFV formalism. Arguments are presented to justify the necessity of modifying the original Fock–Schwinger condition. The free field propagator and the general Ward identity are also calculated.
