Batalin–Vilkovisky gauge–fixing of a chiral two–form in six dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform the gauge–fixing of the theory of a chiral two–form boson in six dimensions starting from the action given by Pasti, Sorokin and Tonin. We use the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism, introducing antifields and writing down an extended action satisfying the classical master equation. Then we gauge–fix the three local symmetries of the extended action in two different ways. 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 E-mail: [email protected]

Gauge-fixing, semiclassical approximation and potentials for graded Chern-Simons theories
We perform the Batalin-Vilkovisky analysis of gauge-fixing for graded Chern-Simons theories. Upon constructing an appropriate gauge-fixing fermion, we implement a Landau-type constraint, finding a simple form of the gauge-fixed action. This allows us to extract the associated Feynman rules taking into account the role of ghosts and antighosts. Our gauge-fixing procedure allows for zero-modes, h...

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...

We show that the BV (Batalin Vilkovisky) action, formulated with an extended BRST symmetry (including the shift symmetry), is also invariant under an extended anti-BRST transformation (where the antifields are the parameters of the transformation), when the gauge fixing Lagrangian is both BRST and anti-BRST invariant. We show that for a general gauge fixing Lagrangian, the BV action can be writ...
متن کاملQuantizing Yang–Mills Theory on a 2-Point Space
We perform the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization of Yang–Mills theory on a 2-point space, discussing the formulation of Connes–Lott as well as Connes’ real spectral triple approach. Despite of the model’s apparent simplicity the gauge structure reveals infinite reducibility and the gauge fixing is afflicted with the Gribov problem. 1
