Background field method and the cohomology of renormalization
Damiano Anselmi
Using the background field method and the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, we prove a key theorem on the cohomology of perturbatively local functionals of arbitrary ghost numbers, in…
Some reference formulas for the generating functions of canonical transformations
Damiano Anselmi
We study some properties of the canonical transformations in classical mechanics and quantum field theory and give a number of practical formulas concerning their generating functi…
Adler-Bardeen theorem and cancellation of gauge anomalies to all orders in nonrenormalizable theories
Damiano Anselmi
We prove the Adler-Bardeen theorem in a large class of general gauge theories, including nonrenormalizable ones. We assume that the gauge symmetries are general covariance, local L…
Ward identities and gauge independence in general chiral gauge theories
Damiano Anselmi
Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, we study the Ward identities and the equations of gauge dependence in potentially anomalous general gauge theories, renormalizable or not. A…
