Gauge fixing and BRST formalism in non-Abelian gauge theories

چکیده
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 Neuberger for lattice Yang-Mills theory with double BRST symmetry. In the final part we present a study of the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantisation method for non-linear gauges in non-Abelian gauge theories.

Nilpotent symmetry invariance in the superfield formalism: the 1-form (non-)Abelian gauge theories
We capture the well-known off-shell as well as the on-shell nilpotent BecchiRouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry invariance(s) of the Lagrangian densities of the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) 1-form (non-)Abelian gauge theories within the framework of the superfield formalism. In particular, we provide the geometrical interpretations for (i) the above nilpotent symmetry invariance(s...

We derive the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and antiBRST symmetry transformations for all the fields of a free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by exploiting the geometrical superfield approach to BRST formalism. The above four (3 + 1)dimensional (4D) theory is considered on a (4, 2)-dimensional supermanifold parameterized by the four even spacetime variables x (with μ = 0, 1,...
