文摘Based on the phase-space path integral for a system with a regular or singular Lagrangian the generalized canonical Ward identities under the global symmetry transformation in extended phase space are deduced respectively, thus the relations among Green functions can be found. The connection between canonical symmetries and conservation laws at the quantum level is established. It is pointed out that this connection in classical theories, in general, is no longer always preserved in quantum theories. The advantage of our formulation is that we do not need to carry out the integration over the canonical momenta in phase-space generating functional as usually performed. A precise discussion of quantization for a nonlinear sigma model with Hopf and Chern-Simons terms is reexamined. The property of fractional spin at quantum level has been clarified.
