The Lagrangian Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism gives the rules for the quantisation of a general class of gauge theories which contain all the theories known up to now. It does, however, not only give a recipe to obtain a gauge fixed…
$S$-matrix elements are invariant under field redefinitions of the Lagrangian. They are determined by geometric quantities such as the curvature of the field-space manifold of scalar and gauge fields. We present a formalism where scalar and…
We consider an extension of the gauge-fixing procedure in the framework of the Lagrangian superfield BRST and BRST-antiBRST quantization schemes for arbitrary gauge theories, taking into account the possible ambiguity in the choice of the…
We derive absolutely anticommuting Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations for the 4D free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by exploiting the superfield approach to BRST formalism. The antisymmetric tensor gauge…
In the framework of $Sp(2)$ extended Lagrangian field-antifield BV formalism we study systematically the role of finite field-dependent BRST-BV transformations. We have proved that the Jacobian of a finite BRST-BV transformation is capable…
We study the non-linear background field redefinitions arising at the quantum level in a spontaneously broken effective gauge field theory. The non-linear field redefinitions are crucial for the symmetric (i.e. fulfilling all the relevant…
We point out that some of the proposed generalized/modified uncertainty principles originate from solvable, or nilpotent at appropriate limits, "deformations" of Lie algebras. We briefly comment on formal aspects related to the…
We define a group of extended non-Abelian gauge transformations for tensor gauge fields. On this group one can define generalized field strength tensors, which are transforming homogeneously with respect to the extended gauge…
In this paper, we present our study on the $T\bar{T}$-deformation of non-relativistic complex scalar field theory. We find the closed form of the deformed Lagrangian by using the perturbation and the method of characteristics. Furthermore…
We introduce classical and quantum antifields in the reparametrization-invariant effective action, and derive a deformed classical master equation.
We investigate some aspects of Moyal-Weyl deformations of superspace and their compatibility with supersymmetry. For the simplest case, when only bosonic coordinates are deformed, we consider a four dimensional supersymmetric field theory…
The symmetry reduction of dynamical systems that are invariant under changes of global scale is well-understood for classical theories of particles, and fields. The excision of the superfluous degree of freedom generating such rescalings…
The most general gauge-invariant marginal deformation of four-dimensional abelian BF-type topological field theory is studied. It is shown that the deformed quantum field theory is topological and that its observables compute, in addition…
The consistent form of the gauge anomaly is worked out at first order in $\theta$ for the noncommutative three-point function of the ordinary gauge field of certain noncommutative chiral gauge theories defined by means of the Seiberg-Witten…
In this paper we adapt the method of [P. H. Baptistelli, M. Manoel and I. O. Zeli. Normal form theory for reversible equivariant vector fields. Bull. Braz. Math. Soc., New Series 47 (2016), no. 3, 935-954] to obtain normal forms of a class…
We extend Padmanabhan's entropy functional formalism to show that, in addition to the Gauss-Bonnet or the entire series of Lanczos-Lovelock Lagrangians already obtained, more general higher-order corrections to General Relativity, i.e., the…
Within a superfield approach, we formulate a simple quantum generating equation of the field - antifield formalism. Then, we derive the Schroedinger equation with the Hamiltonian whose $\Delta$ - exact part serves as a generator to the…
We propose a generating functional for nonrelativistic gauge invariant actions. In particular, we consider actions without the usual magnetic term. Like in the Born-Infeld theory, there is an upper bound to the electric field strength in…
In the framework of superfield formalism, we demonstrate the existence of a new local, covariant, continuous and nilpotent (dual-BRST) symmetry for the BRST invariant Lagrangian density of a self-interacting two ($1 + 1$)-dimensional (2D)…
A generic degenerate Lagrangian system of even and odd fields is examined in algebraic terms of the Grassmann-graded variational bicomplex. Its Euler-Lagrange operator obeys Noether identities which need not be independent, but satisfy…
