Özet
A general method of incorporating collective coordinates (transformation of fields into an overcomplete basis) with constrained hamiltonian systems is given where the original phase space variables and collective coordinates can be bosonic or/and fermionic. This method is illustrated by applying it to the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and its BFV-BRST quantization is discussed. Moreover, this formalism is used to give a systematic way of converting second class constraints into effectively first class ones, by considering second class constraints as first class constraints and gauge fixing conditions. This approach is applied to the massive superparticle, Proca lagrangian, and some topological quantum field theories.
