Renormalisation and the Batalin-vilkovisky Formalism
This paper gives a way to renormalise certain quantum field theories on compact manifolds. Examples include Yang-Mills theory (in dimension 4 only), Chern-Simons theory and holomorphic Chern-Simons theory. The method is within the framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. Chern-Simons theory is renormalised in a way respecting all symmetries (up to homotopy). This yields an invariant of sm...
متن کاملBatalin–vilkovisky Formalism and Integration Theory on Manifolds
The correspondence between the BV-formalism and integration theory on supermanifolds is established. An explicit formula for the density on a Lagrangian surface in a superspace provided with an odd symplectic structure and a volume form is proposed.
متن کاملDeveloping the Covariant Batalin-vilkovisky Approach to String Theory
We investigate the variation of the string field action under changes of the string field vertices giving rise to different decompositions of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. We establish that any such change in the string action arises from a field transformation canonical with respect to the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) antibracket, and find the explicit form of the generator of the infinite...
متن کاملGraph Cohomology Classes in the Batalin-vilkovisky Formalism
We give a conceptual formulation of Kontsevich’s ‘dual construction’ producing graph cohomology classes from a differential graded Frobenius algebra with an odd scalar product. Our construction – whilst equivalent to the original one – is combinatorics-free and is based on the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, from which its gauge-independence is immediate.
متن کاملThe Batalin-vilkovisky Formalism on Fermionic Kähler Manifolds
We show that the Kähler structure can be naturally incorporated in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. The phase space of the BV formalism becomes a fermionic Kähler manifold. By introducing an isometry we explicitly construct the fermionic irreducible hermitian symmetric space. We then give some solutions of the master equation in the BV formalism.
