Superspace formulation for the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism with extended BRST invariance.

چکیده
A superspace formulation for the Batalin Vilkovisky formalism (also called fieldantifield quantization ) with extended BRST invariance (BRST and anti-BRST invariance ) for gauge theories with closed algebra is presented. In contrast to a recent formulation, where only BRST invariance holds off shell, two collective sets of fields are introduced and an off shell realization of the extended algebra in a superspace with two Grassmann coordinates is obtained. The example of the Yang Mills theory is also considered. ∗e-mail:[email protected] 1

We show that the BV (Batalin Vilkovisky) action, formulated with an extended BRST symmetry (including the shift symmetry), is also invariant under an extended anti-BRST transformation (where the antifields are the parameters of the transformation), when the gauge fixing Lagrangian is both BRST and anti-BRST invariant. We show that for a general gauge fixing Lagrangian, the BV action can be writ...
متن کاملIsomorphisms between the Batalin-Vilkovisky antibracket and the Poisson bracket
One may introduce at least three different Lie algebras in any Lagrangian field theory : (i) the Lie algebra of local BRST cohomology classes equipped with the odd Batalin-Vilkovisky antibracket, which has attracted considerable interest recently ; (ii) the Lie algebra of local conserved currents equipped with the Dickey bracket ; and (iii) the Lie algebra of conserved, integrated charges equip...
متن کاملOn the quantum Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and the renormalization of non linear symmetries
The most convenient tool to study the renormalization of a Lagrangian field theory invariant under non linear local or global symmetries is the proper solution to the master equation of the extended antifield formalism. It is shown that, from the knowledge of the BRST cohomology, it is possible to explicitly construct a further extension of the formalism containing all the observables of the th...
متن کاملGeneralized Lagrangian Master Equations
We discuss the geometry of the Lagrangian quantization scheme based on (generalized) Schwinger-Dyson BRST symmetries. When a certain set of ghost fields are integrated out of the path integral, we recover the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, now extended to arbitrary functional measures for the classical fields. Keeping the ghosts reveals the crucial role played by a natural connection on the spac...
متن کاملHamiltonian BRST and Batalin-Vilkovisky formalisms for second quantization of gauge theories
Gauge theories that have been first quantized using the Hamiltonian BRST operator formalism are described as classical Hamiltonian BRST systems with a BRST charge of the form 〈Ψ, Ω̂Ψ〉even and with natural ghost and parity degrees for all fields. The associated proper solution of the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation is constructed from first principles. Both of these formulations can ...
