We apply the BV formalism to non-commutative field theories, introduce BRST symmetry, and gauge-fix the models. Interestingly, we find that treating the full gauge symmetry in non-commutative models can lead to reducible gauge algebras. As…

We derive the off-shell nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations for any arbitrary D-dimensional St$\ddot u$ckelberg-modified massive Abelian 3-form theory within the framework of augmented version of…

$W(a,b)$ and $W(a,b;\bar{a},\bar{b})$ algebras are deformations of ${\mathfrak{bms}_3}$ and ${\mathfrak{bms}_4}$ algebra respectively. We present an $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric extension of $W(a,b)$ and $W(a,b;\bar{a},\bar{b})$ algebra…

A dynamical non-Abelian 2-form gauge theory (with B \wedge F term) is endowed with the "scalar" and "vector" gauge symmetry transformations. In our present endeavor, we exploit the latter gauge symmetry transformations and perform the…

With a recent revival, novel features of the FLPR model have been reported in the literature. A connection between those features to QCD involving the Gribov problem is explored. We investigate the FLPR model in a recently proposed…

The relation between the gauge-invariant local BRST cohomology involving the antifields and the gauge-fixed BRST cohomology is clarified. It is shown in particular that the cocycle conditions become equivalent once it is imposed, on the…

We discuss the BRST and anti-BRST symmetries for perturbative quantum gravity in noncommutative spacetime. In this noncommutative perturbative quantum gravity the sum of the classical Lagrangian density with a gauge fixing term and a ghost…

Classical W-symmetry is globally parametrized by the Grassmannian Manifold which is associated with the non-relativistic fermions. We give the bosonization rule which defines the natural higher coordinates system to describe the W-geometry.…

We consider a deformation of three dimensional BF theory by means of the antifield BRST formalism. Possible deformations for the action and the gauge symmetries are analyzed. We find a new class of gauge theories which include nonabelian BF…

We propose a modification of the gauge-fixing procedure in the Lagrangian method of superfield BRST quantization for general gauge theories which simultaneously provides a natural generalization of the well-known BV quantization scheme as…

We work out the description of the gauge symmetry of unimodular gravity in the constrained Hamiltonian formalism. In particular, we demonstrate how the transversality conditions restricting the diffeomorphism parameters emerge from the…

We show the existence of a co(dual)-BRST symmetry for the usual BRST invariant Lagrangian density of an Abelian gauge theory in two dimensions of space-time where a U(1) gauge field is coupled to the Noether conserved current (constructed…

We consider a BRST approach to G/H coset WZNW models, {\it i.e.} a formulation in which the coset is defined by a BRST condition. We will give the precise ingrediences needed for this formulation. Then we will prove the equivalence of this…

It is well known that BRST symmetry plays a fundamental role in constructing quantum gauge theories. Yet, at the classical level, it constitutes the modern language to study constrained systems. First, this letter reviews the Sp(2)…

The celebrated Curci-Ferrari (CF) type of restrictions are invoked to obtain the off-shell nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting (anti-) BRST as well as (anti-) co-BRST symmetry transformations in the context of the Lagrangian description…

In this paper we will study perturbative quantum gravity on supermanifolds with both noncommutative and non-anticommutative coordinates. We shall first analyses the BRST and the anti-BRST symmetries of this theory. Then we will also analyze…

It is known that certain theories with extended supersymmetry can be discretized in such a way as to preserve an exact fermionic symmetry. In the simplest model of this kind, we show that this residual supersymmetric invariance is actually…

We show how to derive systematically new forms of the BRST transformations for a generic gauge fixed action. They arise after a symmetry of the gauge fixed action is found in the sector involving the Lagrange multiplier and its canonical…

An explicit solution to classical master equations of the Sp(2)-symmetric Hamiltonian BRST quantization scheme is presented in the case of irreducible gauge theories. A realization of the observable algebra is constructed.

Recently a new type of quadratic gauge was introduced in QCD in which the degrees of freedom are suggestive of a phase of abelian dominance. In its simplest form it is also free of Gribov ambiguity. However this gauge is not suitable for…
