The Effective Action for Superfield Lagrangian Quantization in Reducible Hypergauges

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-03-26 v1

Abstract

The rules of local superfield Lagrangian quantization in reducible non-Abelian hypergauge functions are formulated for an arbitrary gauge theory. The generating functionals of standard and vertex Green's functions which depend on the Grassmann variable η\eta via super(anti)fields and sources are constructed. The difference between the local quantum and the gauge fixing actions determines an almost Hamiltonian system such that translations with respect to η\eta along the solutions of this system define the superfield BRST transformations. The Ward identities are derived and the gauge independence of the S-matrix is proved.
