Abstract

We show that several classes of free field theories with local gauge invariance (e.g. the Yang-Mills, Einstein and p-forms linearized actions) can be constructed from classical actions for a finite number of points by applying the BRST quantization initiated by Siegel. We briefly outline the generalization of this construction for strings.
