Physical quantities and arbitrariness in resolving quantum master equation

Abstract

By proceeding with the idea that the presence of physical (BRST invariant) extra factors in the path integral is equivalent to taking into account explicitly the arbitrariness in resolving the quantum master equation, we consider the field-antifield quantization procedure both with the Abelian and the non-Abelian gauge fixing.
