Classical and quantum aspects of the extended antifield formalism

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

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 reviewed.
