Abstract
We present the quantization program of the free field theory of massless antisymmetric tensor gauge fields of second rank introduced by Kalb and Ramond as carrying the interaction between closed relativistic strings. This has been done both on the constant-time surface and also on the null plane. Dirac's method of quantization for constrained Hamiltonian systems has been invoked.Keywords
