We present a brief review of the cohomological solutions of self-coupling interactions of the fields in the free Yang-Mills theory. All consistent interactions among the fields have been obtained using the antifield formalism through…

A long-standing conjecture on the structure of renormalized, gauge invariant, integrated operators of arbitrary dimension in Yang-Mills theory is established. The general solution of the consistency condition for anomalies with sources…

The entire geometric formulations of the BRST and the anti-BRST structures are worked out in presence of the Nakanishi-Lautrup field. It is shown that in the general form of gauge fixing mechanisms within the Faddeev-Popov quantization…

In this thesis we give an overview of the antifield formalism and show how it must be used to quantise arbitrary gauge theories. The formalism is further developed and illustrated in several examples, including Yang-Mills theory, chiral…

We present the mathematical considerations which determine all gauge invariant actions and anomaly candidates in gauge theories of standard type such as ordinary or gravitational Yang Mills theories. Starting from elementary concepts of…

We incorporate both BRS symmetry and anti-BRS symmetry into the quantisation of topological Yang--Mills theory. This refines previous treatments which consider only the BRS symmetry. Our formalism brings out very clearly the geometrical…

Topological Yang-Mills theory is derived in the framework of Lagrangian BRST cohomology.

The general solution of the anomaly consistency condition (Wess-Zumino equation) has been found recently for Yang-Mills gauge theory. The general form of the counterterms arising in the renormalization of gauge invariant operators…

These are expository lectures reviewing (1) recent developments in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, and (2) the construction of topological field theory Lagrangians. Topological field theory is discussed from the point of view of…

We discuss the algebraic renormalization of the Yang--Mills gauge field theory in the presence of translations. Due to the translations the algebra between Sorella's $\d$--operator, the exterior derivative and the BRST--operator closes.…

In this thesis, we compute within the field-antifield formalism the local BRST cohomology of various theories involving p-form gauge fields. A particular emphasis is put on the cohomology groups corresponding to the consistent local…

We analyse in detail the local BRST cohomology in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory using the antifield formalism. We do not restrict the Lagrangian to be the sum of the standard Hilbert and Yang-Mills Lagrangians, but allow for more general…

The first order formalism for 3D Yang-Mills theory is considered and two different formulations are introduced, in which the gauge theory appears to be a deformation of the topological BF theory. We perform the quantization and the…

In the present paper we analyze algebraic structures arising in Yang-Mills theory. The paper should be considered as a part of a project started with a paper "On maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories" devoted to maximally…

We analyze in detail the recursive construction of the Seiberg-Witten map and give an exhaustive description of its ambiguities. The local BRST cohomology for noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is investigated in the framework of the…

In this paper we discuss the BRST-quantization of anomalous 2d-Yang Mills (YM) theory. Since we use an oscillator basis for the YM-Fock-space the anomaly appears already for a pure YM-system and the constraints form a Kac-Moody algebra with…

Yang-Mills models with compact gauge group coupled to matter fields are considered. The general tools developed in a companion paper are applied to compute the local cohomology of the BRST differential $s$ modulo the exterior spacetime…

The BRST cohomology of the N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions is discussed by making use of the twisted version of the N=2 algebra. By the introduction of a set of suitable constant ghosts associated to the generators…

The anti-BRST transformation, in its Sp(2)-symmetric version, for the general case of any stage-reducible gauge theories is implemented in the usual BV approach. This task is accomplished not by duplicating the gauge symmetries but rather…

Consistent interactions between Yang-Mills gauge fields and an abelian 2-form are investigated by using a Hamiltonian cohomological procedure. It is shown that the deformation of the BRST charge and the BRST-invariant Hamiltonian of the…
