The Gauge-Fixing Fermion in BRST Quantisation
Conditions which must be satisfied by the gauge-fixing fermion χ used in the BRST quantisation of constrained systems are established. These ensure that the extension of the Hamiltonian by the gaugefixing term [Ω, χ] (where Ω is the BRST charge) gives the correct path integral. In canonical BRST quantisation (particularly the path-integral approach developed by Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina and Vi...

متن کاملGauge fixing and BRST formalism in non-Abelian gauge theories
In this Thesis we present a comprehensive study of perturbative and non-perturbative non-Abelian gauge theories in the light of gauge-fixing procedures, focusing our attention on the BRST formalism in Yang-Mills theory. We propose first a model to re-write the Faddeev-Popov quantisation method in terms of grouptheoretical techniques and then we give a possible way to solve the no-go theorem of ...
متن کاملDeformations of Batalin–vilkovisky Algebras
We show that a graded commutative algebra A with any square zero odd differential operator is a natural generalization of the Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra. While such an operator of order 2 defines a Lie algebra structure on A, an operator of an order higher than 2 (Koszul–Akman definition) leads to the structure of a strongly homotopy Lie algebra (L∞–algebra) on A. This allows us to give a defin...
متن کاملBatalin-vilkovisky Coalgebra of String Topology
We show that the reduced Hochschild homology of a DG open Frobenius algebra has the natural structure of a Batalin-Vilkovisky coalgebra, and the reduced cyclic homology has the natural structure of a gravity coalgebra. This gives an algebraic model for a Batalin-Vilkovisky coalgebra structure on the reduced homology of the free loop space of a simply connected closed oriented manifold, and a gr...
