We discuss the renormalizability of quantum gravity near two dimensions based on the results obtained by a computation of the BRST-antibracket cohomology in the space of local functionals of the fields and antifields. We justify the…

The BFV-BRST Hamiltonian quantization method is presented for the theories where the gauge parameters are restricted by differential equations. The general formalism is exemplified by the Maxwell-like theory of symmetric tensor field.

We briefly review ideas about ``noncommutativity of space-time'' and approaches toward a corresponding theory of gravity.

Firstly we discuss different versions of noncommutative space-time and corresponding appearance of quantum space-time groups. Further we consider the relation between quantum deformations of relativistic symmetries and so-called doubly…

The renormalization of general gauge theories on flat and curved space-time backgrounds is considered within the Sp(2)-covariant quantization method. We assume the existence of a gauge-invariant and diffeomorphism invariant regularization.…

It is shown how the BRST quantization can be applied to a gauge invariant sector of theories with anomalously broken symmetries. This result is used to show that shifting the anomalies to a classically trivial sector of fields (Wess-Zumino…

A pedagogical introduction to some of the main ideas and results of field theories on quantized spacetimes is presented, with emphasis on what such field theories may teach us about the problem of quantizing gravity. We examine to what…

It is shown that anti-BRST symmetry is the quantized counterpart of local axial symmetry in gauge theories. An extended form of descent equations is worked out which yields a set of modified consistent anomalies.

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…

In this paper we consider the gauge invariant third quantized model of supersymmetric group field cosmology. The supersymmetric BRST invariance for such theory in non-linear gauge is also analysed. The path integral formulation to the case…

We show that the BV (Batalin Vilkovisky) action, formulated with an extended BRST symmetry (including the shift symmetry), is also invariant under an extended anti-BRST transformation (where the antifields are the parameters of the…

Generalized BRS transformations such as introduced in Part I (hep-th/9906245) are applied to a model of quantum gravity. This development is technically complex; but at the least should illustrate how much less rigid and more general of…

Generalizing the Yang-Mills gauge theory, we provide the BV quantization of a field model with a generic almost-regular quadratic Lagrangian by use of the fact that the configuration space of such a field model is split into the…

We scrutinize the many known forms of BRST symmetries, as well as some new ones, realized within a prototypical first-class system. Similarities and differences among ordinary BRST, anti-BRST, dual-BRST and anti-dual-BRST symmetries are…

By means of a generalized quartet mechanism we show in a model independent way that a BRST quantization on an inner product space leads to physical states of the form |ph>=e^{[Q, \psi]} |ph>_0 where Q is the nilpotent BRST operator, \psi a…

Using BRST-BV approach, massless and massive continuous-spin fields propagating in the flat space are studied. For such fields, BRST-BV gauge invariant Lagrangian is obtained. The Lagrangian and gauge transformations are constructed out of…

Motivated by the results of Anastasiou et al., we consider the convolutional double copy for BRST and anti-BRST covariant formulations of gravitational and gauge theories in more detail. We give a general BRST and anti-BRST invariant…

Spacetime inversion symmetries such as parity and time reversal play a central role in physics, but they are usually treated as global symmetries. In quantum gravity there are no global symmetries, so any spacetime inversion symmetries must…

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)…

In the presence of consistent regulators, the standard procedure of BRST gauge fixing (or moving from one gauge to another) can require non-trivial modifications. These modifications occur at the quantum level, and gauges exist which are…
