Received: 28 December 2011 The problem of quantization of the massive p -forms is Accepted: 19 January 2012 considered in the framework of the Batalin-Fradkin (BF) approach based on path integral. The quantization procedure relies on the path integral of Keywords: quantization methods, a first-class system equivalent with the original theory. This first-class path integral. system is constructed using the BF method. 1. Introduction In this paper we approach the problem of the Hamiltonian quantization of the massive -forms. In view of this, we construct a first-class system equivalent with the original second-class theory using the BF method [1]-[4] and then we quantify the resulting first-class system. The associated first-class system has to satisfy the following requirements: its number of physical degrees of freedom coincides with that of the original second-class theory and the algebras of classical observables are isomorphic. 2. BF Method We start with a bosonic dynamic system with the phase-space locally parameterized by a i n canonical pairs z = (q , p ) , endowed with the canonical Hamiltonian H , and subject to i c the second-class constraints (z) 0, = 1,2M .
