BRST Formulation of Partition Function Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that constraints on the generating functional have direct BRST-extensions in terms of nilpotent operators ∆ that annihilate this generating functional, and which may be of arbitrarily high order. The free energy F in the presence of external sources thus satisfies a “Master Equation” which is described in terms of a tower of higher antibrackets. UUITP-23/96 NBI-HE-96-52 hep-th/9610083

Gauge Fixing in the Partition Function for Generalized Quantum Dynamics
We discuss the problem of gauge fixing for the partition function in generalized quantum (or trace) dynamics, deriving analogs of the De WittFaddeev-Popov procedure and of the BRST invariance familiar in the functional integral context.
متن کاملBlack Hole Partition Function using Hybrid Formalism of Superstrings
The hybrid formalism of superstrings on AdS2 × S2, defined as a sigma model on the coset supermanifold PSU(1, 1|2)/U(1)×U(1) with a WZ term, is used to calculate the instanton partition function of IIA superstrings on the euclidean attractor geometry AdS2 × S2 × CY3. A nilpotent BRST operator is constructed and the sigma model action is shown to be closed. The BRST operator is then used to regu...

We study the massive Curci-Ferrari model as a starting point for defining BRST quantisation for Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. In particular, we elucidate this proposal in light of topological approaches to gauge-fixing and study the case of a simple one-link Abelian model. BRST symmetry has proven an invaluable tool in the perturbative quantisa-tion of gauge theories [1] so that its elevati...

We quantise the O(N) nonlinear sigma model using the Batalin Tyutin (BT) approach of converting a second class system into first class. It is a nontrivial application of the BT method since the quanti-sation of this model by the conventional Dirac procedure suffers from operator ordering ambiguities. The first class constraints, the BRST Hamiltonian and the BRST charge are explicitly computed. ...
