On a quantization of deformed reducible gauge theories
A. A. Averianov, A. O. Barvinsky, I. L. Buchbinder +2
We consider a general reducible gauge theory deformed by mass or/and interaction terms violating gauge invariance. It is shown that in the Abelian case, by using the Stueckelberg-t…
On BRST Lagrangian description of partially massless bosonic fields
I. L. Buchbinder, S. A. Fedoruk, V. A. Krykhtin
We present an exhaustive BRST lagrangian description of partially massless bosonic fields in four-dimensional space. The basic fields are formulated in terms of two-component spin-…
Covariant quantization of totally antisymmetric tensor-spinor field in
A. O. Barvinsky, I. L. Buchbinder, V. A. Krykhtin +1
We develop the quantization of a recently proposed model describing a totally antisymmetric rank- tensor-spinor field (a fermionic -form theory) in -dimensional anti-de Si…
Adjustment of Faddeev-Popov quantization to reducible gauge theories: antisymmetric tensor fermion in space
A. O. Barvinsky, I. L. Buchbinder, V. A. Krykhtin +1
We develop the method adjusting the Faddeev-Popov factorization procedure for the quantization of generic reducible gauge theories with linearly dependent generators and apply it t…
On BRST Lagrangian formulation for massive higher-spin fields in Minkowski space
I. L. Buchbinder, S. A. Fedoruk, V. A. Krykhtin
We give a brief overview of the BRST approach to the gauge invariant Lagrangian formulation for free massive higher-spin bosonic fields focusing on two specific aspects. First, the…
On BRST Lagrangian formulation of massless higher spin fields
I. L. Buchbinder, S. A. Fedoruk, A. P. Isaev +1
The paper is dedicated to the blessed memory of Professor Vladislav Gavrilovich Bagrov, an outstanding Russian scientist in the area of theoretical and mathematical physics. He had…
