چکیده
Rigid gauge invariance comprises the symmetry content for physical quantities in a local gauge theory. Its derivation form BRS invariance is thus crucial for determining the physical consequences of the symmetry. ∗ To appear in the“Proceedings of the XXIst Conference on Group Theor.

Chiral Gauge Theories on the Lattice with Exact Gauge Invariance *
A recently proposed formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories is reviewed, in which the locality and gauge invariance of the theory can be preserved if the fermion representation of the gauge group is anomaly-free.
متن کاملFinite Temperature and Large Gauge Invariance
Gauge theories are beautiful theories which describe physical forces in a natural manner and because of their rich structure, the study of gauge theories at nite temperature [1] is quite interesting in itself. However, to avoid getting into technicalities, we will not discuss the intricacies of such theories either at zero temperature or at nite temperature. Rather, we would study a particular ...
متن کاملM ar 1 99 8 Non - abelian gauge theories as a consequence of perturbative quantum gauge invariance ∗
We show for the case of interacting massless vector bosons, how the structure of non-abelian gauge theories emerges automatically from a more fundamental concept of quantum field theories, namely perturbative quantum gauge invariance. It turns out that the coupling is necessarily of Yang-Mills type plus divergence-and coboundary couplings. The extension of the method to massive gauge theories i...
متن کاملNilpotent 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...
