Lorentz-Covariant Quantization of Massive Non-Abelian Gauge Fields in The Hamiltonian Path-Integral Formalism

The massive non-Abelian gauge fields are quantized Lorentz-covariantly in the Hamiltonian path-integral formalism. In the quantization, the Lorentz condition, as a necessary constraint, is introduced initially and incorporated into the massive Yang-Mills Lagrangian by the Lagrange multiplier method so as to make each temporal component of a vector potential to have a canonically conjugate counterpart. The result of this quantization is confirmed by the quantization performed in the Lagrangian path-integral formalism by applying the Lagrange multiplier method which is shown to be equivalent to the Faddeev-Popov approach.
