We consider the finite field dependent BRST (FFBRST) transformations in the context of Hamiltonian formulation using Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky method. The non-trivial Jacobian of such transformations is calculated in extended phase space.…

We apply the Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin (BFT) method to the SU(2) Skyrmion to study the full symmetry structure of the model at the first class Hamiltonian level. On the other hand, we also analyze the symmetry structure of the action having…

We quantize the Friedberg-Lee-Pang-Ren (FLPR) model within the framework of Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formalism. We construct the nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) charges using constraints and the fermionic gauge-fixing…

We use the method due to Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin (BFT) for the quantization of chiral boson theories. We consider the Floreanini-Jackiw (FJ) formulation as well as others with linear constraints.

We show that the BFV quantization scheme can be implemented in the nonprojectable 2+1 Horava theory. This opens the possibility of imposing more general gauge conditions in the quantization of this theory. The BFV quantization is based on…

An irreducible Hamiltonian BRST-anti-BRST treatment of reducible first-class systems based on homological arguments is proposed. The general formalism is exemplified on the Freedman-Townsend model.

We generalize the method of superfield Lagrangian BRST quantization in the part of the gauge-fixing procedure and obtain a quantization method that can be considered as an alternative to the Batalin - Vilkovisky formalism.

In the Batalin - Fradkin - Vilkovisky approach to quantization of gauge theories a principal role is given to the BRST charge which can be constructed as a series in Grassmannian (ghost) variables with coefficients given by generalized…

We study systematically finite BRST- BV transformations in the field-antifield formalism. We present explicitly their Jacobians and the form of a solution to the compensation equation determining the functional field dependence of finite…

We present a worldline description of topological non-abelian BF theory in arbitrary space-time dimensions. It is shown that starting with a trivial classical action defined on the worldline, the BRST cohomology has a natural representation…
