BV Formalism and Partition Functions
arXiv:2410.18285 · doi:10.21468/SciPostPhys.18.6.202
Abstract
The BV formalism is a well-established method for analyzing symmetries and quantization of field theories. In this paper we use the BV formalism to derive partition functions of gauge invariant operators up to equations of motions and their redundancies of selected theories. We discuss various interpretations of the results, some dualities and relation to first quantized models.
