Abstract

Due to an improper interpretation of the relation of first-class constraints to gauge degrees of freedom, many authors have asserted that all primary and secondary first-class constraints are associated with gauge freedom and enter in the generator of the evolution of the system. By presenting several examples, the authors show that secondary first-class constraints are not associated with gauge degrees of freedom, but only intrinsic first-class constraints yield gauge freedom.
