Quantum BRST operators in extended BRST anti BRST formalism
The quantum BRST anti BRST operators are explicitly derived and the consequences related to correlation functions are investigated. The connection with the standard formalism and the loopwise expansions for quantum operators and anomalies in Sp(2) approach are analyzed .
متن کاملGeometric Interpretation of the Quantum Master Equation in the BRST–anti-BRST Formalism
The geometric interpretation of the antibracket formalism given by Witten is extended to cover the anti-BRST symmetry. This enables one to formulate the quantum master equation for the BRST–antiBRST formalism in terms of integration theory over a supermanifold. A proof of the equivalence of the standard antibracket formalism with the antibracket formalism for the BRST–anti-BRST symmetry is also...
متن کاملA note on the BRST cohomology of the extended antifield formalism
The relevance of the BRST cohomology of the extended antifield formalism is briefly discussed along with standard homological tools needed for its computation. Collaborateur scientifique du Fonds National Belge de la Recherche Scientifique. The lectures given at the school Q.F.T., Supersymmetry and Superstrings, in Cǎlimǎneşti, Romania in April 1998 were intitled Classical and quantum aspects o...
متن کاملBRST–Antifield–Treatment of Metric–Affine Gravity
The metric–affine gauge theory of gravity provides a broad framework in which gauge theories of gravity can be formulated. In this article we fit metric–affine gravity into the covariant BRST–antifield formalism in order to obtain gauge fixed quantum actions. As an example the gauge fixing of a general two–dimensional model of metric–affine gravity is worked out explicitly. The result is shown ...
متن کاملBRST, anti-BRST and gerbes
We discuss BRST and anti–BRST transformations for an Abelian antisymmetric gauge field in 4D and find that, in order for them to anticommute, we have to impose a condition on the auxiliary fields. This condition is similar to the Curci–Ferrari condition for the 4D non–Abelian 1-form gauge theories and represents a consistency requirement. We interpret it as a signal that our Abelian 2-form gaug...
