Geometric Interpretation of the Quantum Master Equation in the BRST–anti-BRST Formalism
نویسنده
چکیده
The geometric interpretation of the antibracket formalism given by Witten is extended to cover the anti-BRST symmetry. This enables one to formulate the quantum master equation for the BRST–antiBRST formalism in terms of integration theory over a supermanifold. A proof of the equivalence of the standard antibracket formalism with the antibracket formalism for the BRST–anti-BRST symmetry is also given.

متن کاملClassical and quantum aspects of the extended antifield formalism
Starting from a solution to the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation, an extended solution to an extended master equation is constructed by coupling all the observables, the anomaly candidates and the generators of global symmetries. The construction of the formalism and its applications in the context of the renormalization of generic and potentially anomalous gauge theories are review...

متن کاملSuperspace formulation of general massive gauge theories and geometric interpretation of mass–dependent BRST symmetries
A superspace formulation is proposed for the osp(1, 2)–covariant Lagrangian quantization of general massive gauge theories. The superalgebra osp(1, 2) is considered as subalgebra of the superalgebra sl(1, 2) ∼ osp(2, 2) which may be considered as the algebra of generators of the conformal group in a superspace with two anticommuting coordinates. The mass–dependent (anti)BRST symmetries of prope...
متن کاملHamiltonian BRST and Batalin-Vilkovisky formalisms for second quantization of gauge theories
Gauge theories that have been first quantized using the Hamiltonian BRST operator formalism are described as classical Hamiltonian BRST systems with a BRST charge of the form 〈Ψ, Ω̂Ψ〉even and with natural ghost and parity degrees for all fields. The associated proper solution of the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation is constructed from first principles. Both of these formulations can ...
