Improved Collective Field Formalism for an Antifield Scheme for Extended BRST Symmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a new collective field formalism with two rather than one collective field to derive the antifield formalism for extended BRST invariant quantisation. This gives a direct and physical proof of the scheme of Batalin, Lavrov and Tyutin, derived on algebraic grounds. The importance of the collective field in the quantisation of open algebras in both the BRST and extended BRST invariant way is stressed.
