The corresponding Lagrangian $\tilde L$ can be obtained by pure algebraic methods, its manifest form in terms of quantities of the initial formulation is found. Local symmetries of $\tilde L$ are obtained in closed form. All the first class constraints of the initial Lagrangian turn out to be gauge symmetry generators for $\tilde L$.High Energy Physics - TheoryMathematical Physicstext
