Abstract

Within the framework of the Lagrangian method of BLT (Batalin-Lavrov-Tyutin) quantization, we have studied the structure of a space of asymptotic states of the well-known Freedman-Townsend model (the model of an antisymmetric second-rank tensor field). We have shown that the physical unitarity condition is satisfied within the considered model.
