ABSTRACT By employing special solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and tools from
lattice theories, we suggest an approach to convert classical theories to
quantum theories for mechanics and field theories. Some nontrivial results are
obtained for a gauge field and a fermion field. For a topologically massive
gauge theory, we can obtain a first order Lagrangian with mass term. For the
fermion field, in order to make our approach feasible, we supplement the
conventional Lagrangian with a surface term. This surface term can also produce
the massive term for the fermion.
