Formal Global Perturbative Quantization of the Rozansky-Witten Model in the BV-BFV Formalism

Abstract

We describe a globalization construction for the Rozansky-Witten model in the BV-BFV formalism for a source manifold with and without boundary in the classical and quantum case. After having introduced the necessary background, we define an AKSZ sigma model, which, upon globalization through notions of formal geometry extended appropriately to our case, is shown to reduce to the Rozansky-Witten model. The relations with other relevant constructions in the literature are discussed. Moreover, we split the model as a $BF$-like theory and we construct a perturbative quantization of the model in the quantum BV-BFV framework. In this context, we are able to prove the modified differential Quantum Master Equation and the flatness of the quantum Grothendieck BFV operator. Additionally, we provide a construction of the BFV boundary operator in some cases.

arXiv comment80 pages, 20 figures. Substantially revised version. We have corrected several things, including small conceptual mistakes and typos. A much shorter version of the manuscript has been accepted for publication. We leave the longer version on arXiv such that the paper is self-contained. All results of the published version are presented in here
