QUANTIZATION OF A PSEUDOCLASSICAL MODEL OF THE SPIN-1 RELATIVISTIC PARTICLE

A consistent procedure for canonical quantization of a pseudoclassical model of the spin 1 relativistic particle is considered. Two approaches to treating quantization for the massless case are discussed - the limit of the massive case and independent quantization of a modified action. The quantum mechanics constructed for the massive case proves to be equivalent to the Proca theory; and for massless case, to the Maxwell theory. Results obtained are compared with ones for the case of the spinning (spin 1/2) particle.
