A SUPERSPACE FORMULATION FOR THE BATALIN VILKOVISKY FORMALISM WITH EXTENDED BRST INVARIANCE
arXiv:hep-th/9505014 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.53.916
Abstract
A superspace formulation for the Batalin Vilkovisky formalism (also called field-antifield quantization ) with extended BRST invariance (BRST and anti-BRST invariance ) for gauge theories with closed algebra is presented. In contrast to a recent formulation, where only BRST invariance holds off shell, two collective sets of fields are introduced and an off shell realization of the extended algebra in a superspace with two Grassmann coordinates is obtained. The example of the Yang Mills theory is also considered.
