Batalin–vilkovisky Formalism and Integration Theory on Manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
The correspondence between the BV-formalism and integration theory on supermanifolds is established. An explicit formula for the density on a Lagrangian surface in a superspace provided with an odd symplectic structure and a volume form is proposed.

Renormalisation and the Batalin-vilkovisky Formalism
This paper gives a way to renormalise certain quantum field theories on compact manifolds. Examples include Yang-Mills theory (in dimension 4 only), Chern-Simons theory and holomorphic Chern-Simons theory. The method is within the framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. Chern-Simons theory is renormalised in a way respecting all symmetries (up to homotopy). This yields an invariant of sm...
متن کاملThe Batalin-vilkovisky Formalism on Fermionic Kähler Manifolds
We show that the Kähler structure can be naturally incorporated in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. The phase space of the BV formalism becomes a fermionic Kähler manifold. By introducing an isometry we explicitly construct the fermionic irreducible hermitian symmetric space. We then give some solutions of the master equation in the BV formalism.

This note describes the functional-integral quantization of two-dimensional topological field theories together with applications to problems in deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds and reduction of certain submanifolds. A brief introduction to smooth graded manifolds and to the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism is included. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 81T45; Secondar...
متن کاملDeformation of Batalin-Vilkovisky Structures
A Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is most general framework to construct consistent quantum field theories. Its mathematical structure is called a BatalinVilkovisky structure. First we explain rather mathematical setting of a BatalinVilkovisky formalism. Next, we consider deformation theory of a BatalinVilkovisky structure. Especially, we consider deformation of topological sigma models in any dim...

A very general and powerful approach to quantization of gauge theories was proposed by Batalin and Vilkovisky [1],[2]. The present paper is devoted to the study of geometry of this quantization procedure. The main mathematical objects under consideration are P -manifolds and SP -manifolds (supermanifolds provided with an odd symplectic structure and, in the case of SP -manifolds, with a volume ...
