Geometry of the BFV Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe gauge-fixing at the level of virtual paths in the path integral as a nonsymplectic BRST-type of flow on the path phase space. As a consequence a gauge-fixed, non-local symplectic structure arises. Restoring of locality is discussed. A pertinent anti-Lie-bracket and an infinite dimensional group of gauge fermions are introduced. Generalizations to Sp(2)-symmetric BLT-theories are made.

متن کاملBirkhoff's Theorem from a geometric perspective: A simple example
From Hilbert's theorem of zeroes, and from Noether's ideal theory, Birkhoff derived certain algebraic concepts (as explained by Tholen) that have a dual significance in general toposes, similar to their role in the original examples of algebraic geometry. I will describe a simple example that illustrates some of the aspects of this relationship. The dualization from algebra to geometr...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Patterns of Barmah Forest Virus Disease in Queensland, Australia
BACKGROUND Barmah Forest virus (BFV) disease is a common and wide-spread mosquito-borne disease in Australia. This study investigated the spatio-temporal patterns of BFV disease in Queensland, Australia using geographical information system (GIS) tools and geostatistical analysis. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We calculated the incidence rates and standardised incidence rates of BFV disease. Mor...
متن کاملComplete genome sequences of two novel European clade bovine foamy viruses from Germany and Poland.
Bovine foamy virus (BFV), or bovine spumaretrovirus, is an infectious agent of cattle with no obvious disease association but high prevalence in its host. Here, we report two complete BFV sequences, BFV-Riems, isolated in 1978 in East Germany, and BFV100, isolated in 2005 in Poland. Both new BFV isolates share the overall genetic makeup of other foamy viruses (FV). Although isolated almost 25 y...
متن کاملFedosov Deformation Quantization as a BRST Theory
The relationship is established between the Fedosov deformation quantization of a general symplectic manifold and the BFV-BRST quantization of constrained dynamical systems. The original symplectic manifold M is presented as a second class constrained surface in the fibre bundle T * ρ M which is a certain modification of a usual cotangent bundle equipped with a natural symplectic structure. The...
