| dc.description | The quantization of the SU(2)$\times $U(1) gauge-symmetric electroweak theory is performed in the Hamiltonian path-integral formalism. In this quantization, we start from the Lagrangian given in the unitary gauge in which the unphysical Goldstone fields are absent, but the unphysical longitudinal components of the gauge fields still exist. In order to eliminate the longitudinal components, it is necessary to introduce the Lorentz gauge conditions as constraints. These constraints may be incorporated into the Lagrangian by the Lagrange undetermined multiplier method. In this way, it is found that every component of a four-dimensional vector potential has a conjugate counterpart. Thus, a Lorentz-covariant quantization in the Hamiltonian path-integral formalism can be well accomplished and leads to a result which is the same as given by the Faddeev-Popov approach of quantization. | |
