An algebraic program of computation and characterization of higher loop BRST anomalies is presented. We propose a procedure for disentangling a genuine{\it local} higher loop anomaly from the quantum dressings of lower loop anomalies. For…

It is shown that the BRST resolution of the spaces of physical states of the systems with anomalies can be consistently defined. The appropriate anomalous complexes are obtained by canonical restrictions of the ghost extended spaces to the…

We study the Slavnov-Taylor Identities (STI) breaking terms, up to the second order in perturbation theory. We investigate which requirements are needed for the first order Wess-Zumino consistency condition to hold true at the next order in…

In the extended antifield formalism, a quantum BRST differential for anomalous gauge theories is constructed. Local BRST cohomological classes are characterized, besides the form degree and the ghost number, by the length of their descents…

Within a BRST formulation, we determine the expressions of the consistent anomaly for superstrings with extended worldsheet supersymmetries of rank N. We consider the O(N) superconformal algebras up to N=4, as well as the `small N=4'…

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 local BRST cohomology is computed in old and new minimal supergravity, including the coupling to Yang-Mills gauge multiplets. This covers the determination of all gauge invariant local actions for these models, the classification of all…

We establish higher order convergence rates in the theory of periodic homogenization of both linear and fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations of non-divergence form. The rates are achieved by involving higher order correctors which…

Motivated by BRST theory, we study generalized symmetries and supersymmetries depending on derivatives of dynamic variables in a most general setting. We state the first variational formula and conservation laws for higher order Lagrangian…

It is shown that perturbations around backgrounds with one non-homogeneous dimension, namely of co-homogeneity 1, can be canonically simplified, a property that is shown to hold to any order in perturbation theory. Recalling that the…

Coordinate descent methods have considerable impact in global optimization because global (or, at least, almost global) minimization is affordable for low-dimensional problems. Coordinate descent methods with high-order regularized models…

The hamiltonian BRST-anti-BRST theory is developed in the general case of arbitrary reducible first class systems. This is done by extending the methods of homological perturbation theory, originally based on the use of a single resolution,…

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 establish the higher order convergence rates in periodic homogenization of viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations, which is convex and grows quadratically in the gradient variable. We observe that although the nonlinear…

This paper investigates the relationship between the solvability of first-order differential equations and the topology of the underlying domain through the lens of de\,Rham cohomology. We analyze the conditions under which a closed 1-form…

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…

The quantum action principle of renormalisation theory is applied to the antibracket-antifield formalism for Hamiltonian systems. General results on the local BRST cohomology allow one to prove that the anomalies appear in the time…

The paper provides a framework for a systematic analysis of the local BRST cohomology in a large class of gauge theories. The approach is based on the cohomology of s+d in the jet space of fields and antifields, s and d being the BRST…

We describe a pure spinor BRST cohomology framework to compactly represent ten-dimensional one-loop amplitudes involving any number of massless open- and closed-string states. The method of previous work to construct scalar and vectorial…

Consider a physical system for which a mathematically rigorous geometric quantization procedure exists. Now subject the system to a finite set of irreducible first class (bosonic) constraints. It is shown that there is a mathematically…
