Abstract

The generating functionals of Green's functions with composite and external fields are considered in the framework of BV and BLT quantization methods for general gauge theories. The corresponding Ward identities are derived and the gauge dependence is investigated

Comments

24 pages, LATEX, slightly changed to clarify the essential new aspect concerning composite fields depending on external ones; added formulas showing lack of (generalized) nilpotence of operators appearing in the Ward identities
