BRST Extension of the Non-Linear Unfolded Formalism
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the construction of gauge field theories from BRST first-quantized systems and its relation to the unfolded formalism. In particular, the BRST extension of the non linear unfolded formalism is discussed in some details. ∗ Senior Research Associate of the National Fund for Scientific Research (Belgium). 2 BARNICH, GRIGORIEV

On 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 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 کاملThe Abelian Embedding Formulation of the Stückelberg Model and its Power-counting Renormalizable Extension
We elucidate the geometry of the polynomial formulation of the non-abelian Stückelberg mechanism. We show that a natural off-shell nilpotent BRST differential exists allowing to implement the constraint on the σ field by means of BRST techniques. This is achieved by extending the ghost sector by an additional U(1) factor (abelian embedding). An important consequence is that a further BRST-invar...
متن کاملOn Superfield Covariant Quantization in General Coordinates
We propose a natural extension of the BRST–antiBRST superfield covariant scheme in general coordinates. Thus, the coordinate dependence of the basic scalar and tensor fields of the formalism is extended from the base supermanifold to the complete set of superfield variables.
متن کاملPedagogical Introduction to Hamiltonian BRST formalism
Hamiltonian BRST formalism (FV formalism) includes many auxiliary fields without explanation. Its path-integration has a simple form by using BRST charge, but its construction is quite mechanically and hard to understand physical meaning. In this paper we perform the phase space path-integral with requiring BRST invariance for action and measure, and show that the resultant form is equivalent t...
