Abstract

Gauge-invariant systems of a general form with higher order time derivatives of gauge parameters are investigated within the framework of the BFV formalism. Higher order terms of the BRST charge and BRST-invariant Hamiltonian are obtained. It is shown that the identification rules for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian BRST ghost variables depend on the choice of the extension of constraints from the primary constraint surface.
