SFT-inspired Algebraic Structures in Gauge Theories
arXiv:0711.3843 · doi:10.1063/1.3142964
Abstract
We consider gauge theories in a String Field Theory-inspired formalism. The constructed algebraic operations lead in particular to homotopy algebras of the related BV theories. We discuss invariant description of the gauge fixing procedure and special algebraic features of gauge theories coupled to matter fields.
