BRST-BV Quantum Actions for Constrained Totally-Symmetric Integer HS Fields
Abstract
A constrained BRST-BV Lagrangian formulation for totally symmetric massless HS fields in a -dimensional Minkowski space is extended to a non-minimal constrained BRST-BV Lagrangian formulation by using a non-minimal BRST operator with non-minimal Hamiltonian BFV oscillators , as well as antighost and Nakanishi-Lautrup tensor fields, in order to introduce an admissible self-consistent gauge condition. The gauge-fixing procedure involves an operator gauge-fixing BRST-BFV Fermion as a kernel of the gauge-fixing BRST-BV Fermion functional , manifesting the concept of BFV-BV duality. A Fock-space quantum action with non-minimal BRST-extended off-shell constraints is constructed as a shift of the total generalized field-antifield vector by a variational derivative of the gauge-fixing Fermion in a total BRST-BV action . We use a gauge condition which depends on two gauge parameters, thereby extending the case of -gauges. For triplet and duplet formulations we explored the representations with only traceless field-antifield and source variables. For the generating functionals of Green's functions, BRST symmetry transformations are suggested and Ward identities are obtained.
