Duality between constraints and gauge conditions
Abstract
It is shown that in the first order gauge theories under some general assumptions gauge conditions can play the role of new local symmetry generators, while the original constraints become gauge fixing terms. It is possible to associate with this new symmetry a second BRST charge and its anticommutator with the original BRST charge is the Hodge operator of the corresponding cohomology complex.
