Abstract

The vector and axial-vector gauge theory is quantized in the geometrical BRST formalism. By applying the so-called horizontality condition, the BRST and anti-BRST transformation rules under the vector and axial-vector gauge transformations are obtained. At the same time, a quantum Lagrangian which is BRST and anti-BRST invariant is obtained. We discuss how the vector--axial-vector gauge theory [U[sub [ital V]]([ital N])[times]U[sub [ital A]]([ital N])] is related to the right''- and left''-handed gauge theory [U[sub [ital R]]([ital N])[times]U[sub [ital L]]([ital N])].

BRST-invariant Lagrangian of spontaneously broken gauge theories in a noncommutative geometry

Journal Article Okumura, Y - Physical Review, D

The quantization of spontaneously broken gauge theories in a noncommutative geometry (NCG) has been sought for some time, because quantization is crucial for making the NCG approach a reliable and physically acceptable theory. Lee, Hwang, and Ne{close_quote}eman recently succeeded in realizing the BRST quantization of gauge theories in a NCG in the matrix derivative approach proposed by Coquereaux and co-workers. The present author has proposed a characteristic formulation to reconstruct a gauge theory in a NCG on the discrete space {ital M}{sub 4}{times}{ital Z}{sub {sub {ital N}}}. Since this formulation is a generalization of the differential geometry on the ordinarymore »« less

Quantized gauge-affine gravity in the superfiber bundle approach

Journal Article Meziane, A; Tahiri, M - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The quantization of gauge-affine gravity within the superfiber bundle formalism is proposed. By introducing an even pseudotensorial 1-superform over a principal superfiber bundle with superconnection, we obtain the geometrical Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST transformations of the fields occurring in such a theory. Reducing the four-dimensional general affine group double-covering GA(4,R) to the Poincare group double-covering ISO(1,3) we also find the BRST and anti-BRST transformations of the fields present in Einstein's gravity. Furthermore, we give a prescription leading to the construction of both BRST-invariant gauge-fixing action for gauge-affine gravity and Einstein's gravity.

Local superfield Lagrangian BRST quantization

Journal Article Gitman, D; Moshin, P; Reshetnyak, A - Journal of Mathematical Physics

A {theta}-local formulation of superfield Lagrangian quantization in non-Abelian hypergauges is proposed on the basis of an extension of general reducible gauge theories to special superfield models with a Grassmann parameter {theta}. We solve the problem of describing the quantum action and the gauge algebra of an L-stage-reducible superfield model in terms of a BRST charge for a formal dynamical system with first-class constraints of (L+1)-stage reducibility. Starting from {theta}-local functions of the quantum and gauge-fixing actions, with an essential use of Darboux coordinates on the antisymplectic manifold, we construct a superfield generating functionals of Green's functions, including the effectivemore »« less

BFV-BRST quantization of two-dimensional supergravity

Journal Article Fujiwara, T; Igarashi, Y; Kuriki, R; ... - Physical Review, D

Two-dimensional supergravity theory is quantized as an anomalous gauge theory. In the Batalin-Fradkin (BF) formalism, the anomaly-canceling super-Liouville fields are introduced to identify the original second-class constrained system with a gauge-fixed version of a first-class system. The BFV-BRST quantization applies to formulate the theory in the most general class of gauges. A local effective action constructed in the configuration space contains two super-Liouville actions; one is a noncovariant but local functional written only in terms of two-dimensional supergravity fields, and the other contains the super-Liouville fields canceling the super-Weyl anomaly. Auxiliary fields for the Liouville and the gravity supermultiplets aremore »« less

The BRST and anti-BRST invariant quantization of general gauge theories

Journal Article Hull, C - Modern Physics Letters A; (United States)

In this paper the Batalin-Vilkovisky procedure for the BRST invariant path-integral quantization of general gauge theories is discussed. An extension of this is given in which a path integral is constructed that is invariant under an anti-BRST symmetry as well as the BRST symmetry. It is also manifestly invariant under an Sp(2) symmetry which rotates the BRST and anti-BRST charges into one another.
