A gauge-averaging functional of the axial type is studied for simple supergravity at one loop about flat Euclidean four-space bounded by a three-sphere, or two concentric three-spheres. This is a generalization of recent work on the axial gauge in quantum supergravity on manifolds with boundary. Ghost modes obey nonlocal boundary conditions of the spectral type, in that half of them obey Dirich...

This paper introduces dependability gauges, which measure dependability properties of dynamically evolving systems. The general concept is illustrated by explaining the details of a fault tolerance gauge that we have implemented.
