It appears to be quite different from the usual spacelike case leading, for instance, to the presence of tertiary constraints. Besides, I discuss the issue of the zero modes and argue that there might be some hidden correspondence with two-dimensional theories. %G English %L hal-01052742 %U https://hal.science/hal-01052742 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
