Does the nontrivially deformed field-antifield formalism exist?

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-09-15 v7

Abstract

We reformulate the Lagrange deformed field-antifield BV -formalism suggested, in terms of the general Euler vector field NN generated by the antisymplectic potential. That NN generalizes, in a natural anticanonically-invariant manner, the usual power-counting operator. We provide for the "usual" gauge-fixing mechanism as applied to the deformed BV -formalism.
