Canonical gauges in the path integral for parametrized systems

It is well known that - differing from ordinary gauge systems - canonical gauges are not admissible in the path integral for parametrized systems. This is the case for the relativistic particle and gravitation However, a time dependent canonical transformation can turn a parametrized system into an...
