چکیده
We give the superdiffeomorphisms transformations of the four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory in curved manifold and we discuss the ultraviolet renormalization of the model. The explicit expression of the most general counterterm is given. Work supported in part by the “Fonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung”, under Contract Grant Number P10268 PHY.

Gauge Fixing and Renormalization in Topological Quantum Field Theory*
In this letter we show how Witten’s topological Yang-Mills and gravitational quantum field theories may be obtained by a straightforward BRST gauge fixing procedure. We investigate some aspects of the renormalization of the topological Yang-Mills theory. It is found that the beta function for the Yang-Mills coupling constant is not zero. Submitted to Phys.

متن کاملRenormalization of the Topological Charge in Yang–Mills Theory
The conditions leading to a nontrivial renormalization of the topological charge in four–dimensional Yang–Mills theory are discussed. It is shown that if the topological term is regarded as the limit of a certain nontopological interaction, quantum effects due to the gauge bosons lead to a finite multiplicative renormalization of the θ–parameter while fermions give rise to an additional shift o...
متن کاملStudy of the systematic errors in the calculation of renormalization constants of the topological susceptibility on the lattice
We present a study of the systematic effects in the nonperturbative evaluation of the renormaliza-tion constants which appear in the field–theoretical determination of the topological susceptibility in pure Yang–Mills theory. The study is performed by computing the renormalization constants on configurations that have been calibrated by use of the Ginsparg-Wilson formalism and by cooling. Syste...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Yang–Mills theories with local coupling: The supersymmetric gauge
Supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory is formulated with a local, i.e. space-time dependent, complex coupling in superspace. Super-Yang-Mills theories with local coupling have an anomaly, which has been first investigated in the Wess-Zumino gauge and there identified as an anomaly of supersymmetry. In a manifest supersymmetric formulation the anomaly appears in two other identities: The first o...
متن کاملA Renormalized Supersymmetry in the Topological Yang - Mills Field Theory
We reconsider the algebraic BRS renormalization of Witten’s topological Yang-Mills field theory by making use of a vector supersymmetry Ward identity which improves the finiteness properties of the model. The vector supersymmetric structure is a common feature of several topological theories. The most general local counterterm is determined and is shown to be a trivial BRS-coboundary. Work supp...
