Superfield quantization of general gauge theories

Abstract

A superfield version on superspace $(x^{\mu },{\theta }^a)$ is proposed for the $Sp(2)$-- covariant Lagrangian quantization of general gauge theories. The BRST- and antiBRST- transformations are realized on superfields as supertranslations in the ${\theta }^a$-- directions. A new (geometric) interpretation of the Ward identities in the quantum gauge theory is given.
