The Yang – Mills gauge field theory in the context of a generalized BRST – formalism including translations
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the algebraic renormalization of the Yang–Mills gauge field theory in the presence of translations. Due to the translations the algebra between Sorella’s δ–operator, the exterior derivative and the BRST–operator closes. Therefore, we are able to derive an integrated parameter formula collecting in an elegant and compact way all nontrivial solutions of the descent equations.

Gauge 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 ...

One-loop renormalization of the Yang-Mills theory with BRST-invariant mass term. Abstract Divergent part of the one-loop effective action for the Yang-Mills theory in a special gauge containing forth degrees of ghost fields and allowing addition of BRST-invariant mass term is calculated by the generalized t'Hooft-Veltman technique. The result is BRST-invariant and defines running mass, coupling...
متن کاملHomological Algebra and Yang-Mills Theory
The antifield-BRST formalism and the various cohomologies associated with it are surveyed and illustrated in the context of Yang-Mills gauge theory. In particular, the central role played by the KoszulTate resolution and its relation to the characteristic cohomology are stressed. ∗Invited contribution to the 100th issue of Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra marking the 25th Anniversary of the ...
متن کاملExtended BRST invariance in topological Yang Mills theory revisited
Extended BRST invariance (BRST plus anti-BRST invariances) provides in principle a natural way of introducing the complete gauge fixing structure associated to a gauge field theory in the minimum representation of the algebra. However, as it happens in topological Yang Mills theory, not all gauge fixings can be obtained from a symmetrical extended BRST algebra, where antighosts belong to the sa...
متن کاملA note on BRST quantization of SU(2) Yang-Mills mechanics
The quantization of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory reduced to 0 + 1 space-time dimensions is performed in the BRST framework. We show that in the unitary gauge A0 = 0 the BRST procedure has difficulties which can be solved by introduction of additional singlet ghost variables. In the Lorenz gauge Ȧ0 = 0 one has additional unphysical degrees of freedom, but the BRST quantization is free of the problems...
