One Loop Anomalies and Wess-Zumino Terms for General Gauge Theories

One loop anomalies and their dependence on antifields for general gauge theories are investigated within a Pauli-Villars regularization scheme. For on-shell theories {\it i.e.}, with open algebras or on-shell reducible theories, the antifield dependence is cohomologically non trivial. The associated Wess-Zumino term depends also on antifields. In the classical basis the antifield independent part of the WZ term is expressed in terms of the anomaly and finite gauge transformations by introducing gauge degrees of freedom as the extra dynamical variables. The complete WZ term is reconstructed from the antifield independent part.

Wess-Zumino Terms for Reducible Anomalous Gauge Theories

Reducible off-shell anomalous gauge theories are studied in the framework of an extended Field-Antifield formalism by introducing new variables associated with the anomalous gauge degrees of freedom. The Wess-Zumino term for these theories is constructed and new gauge invariances appear. The quantum effects due to the extra variables are considered.

BV analysis for covariant and non-covariant actions

The equivalence between the covariant and the non-covariant version of a constrained system is shown to hold after quantization in the framework of the field-antifield formalism. Our study covers the cases of Electromagnetism and Yang-Mills fields and sheds light on some aspects of the Faddeev-Popov method, for both the coratiant and non-covariant approaches, which had not been fully clarified in the literature.
