Abstract

The four dimensional SU(3) WZW model coupled to electromagnetism is treated as a constrained system in the context of Batalin-Fradkin- Vilkovisky formalism. It is shown that this treatment is equivalent to the Faddeev-Jackiw (FJ) approach. It is also shown that the field redefinitions that transform the fields of the model into BRST and σ closed are actually the Darboux's transformations used in the FJ formalism.
