Abstract

In this paper, we will study the deformation of a three dimensional N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 supersymmetry gauge theory. We will deform this theory by imposing non-anticommutativity. This will break the supersymmetry of the theory from N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 supersymmetry to N=1\mathcal{N} = 1 supersymmetry. We will address the problem that occurs in the Landau gauge due to the existence of multiple solutions to the gauge fixing condition. This will be done by generalizing the Faddeev-Popov method. This formalism is motivated from the Nicolai map in topological field theories. Finally, we will study the extended BRST symmetry that occurs in this theory.
