Non-Abelian Antibrackets

چکیده
The ∆-operator of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is the Hamiltonian BRST charge of Abelian shift transformations in the ghost momentum representation. We generalize this ∆-operator, and its associated hierarchy of antibrackets, to that of an arbitrary non-Abelian and possibly open algebra of any rank. We comment on the possible application of this formalism to closed string field theory. NBI-HE-95-39 hep-th/9511066

متن کاملA Lie Group Structure Underlying the Triplectic Geometry
We consider the pair of degenerate compatible antibrackets satisfying a generalization of the axioms imposed in the triplectic quantization of gauge theories. We show that this actually encodes a Lie group structure, with the antibrackets being related to the left-and right-invariant vector fields on the group. The standard triplectic quantization axioms then correspond to Abelian Lie groups.
متن کاملOn the Canonical Form of a Pair of Compatible Antibrackets
In the triplectic quantization of general gauge theories, we prove a ‘triplectic’ analogue of the Darboux theorem: we show that the doublet of compatible antibrackets can be brought to a weakly-canonical form provided the general triplectic axioms of [2] are imposed together with some additional requirements that can be formulated in terms of marked functions of the antibrackets. The weakly-can...
متن کاملUniversal Lie Formulas for Higher Antibrackets
We prove that the hierarchy of higher antibrackets (aka higher Koszul brackets, aka Koszul braces) of a linear operator ∆ on a commutative superalgebra can be defined by some universal formulas involving iterated Nijenhuis–Richardson brackets having as arguments ∆ and the multiplication operators. As a byproduct, we can immediately extend higher antibrackets to noncommutative algebras in a way ...
