[hep-th] Seminar grupe za gravitaciju, cestice i polja, 31. mart 2023

[Marija Dimitrijevic Ciric]

Zdravo svima,

podsecam na drugo predavanje u okviru mini ciklusa o Batalin-Vilkovisky 
formalizmu i njegovoj primeni u kvantizacji teorije polja na 
(ne)komutativnom prostoru. Voja Radovanovic (Fizicki fakultet) ce 
predavanje odrzati u petak 31. marta.

Naslov:  Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and quantization of gauge field 
theories

Asptrakt:

In these series of lectures we will review the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) 
formalism and its applications. This formalism is a generalization of 
the BRST quantization and it is frequently used in field theory and 
quantum mechanics. One of the advantages of the BV formalism is that it 
provides a well defined quantization for theories that cannot be 
quanized by the Faddev-Popov path integral approach. In particular, 
gauge field theories with complicated gauge symmetries (reducible and/or 
with an open algebra) are quantized in the framework of this formalism.

In the second lecture we will discuss some examples of reducible and/or 
open gauge symmetries. Then we will introduce notions of antifields, 
antibracket and BV laplacian, derive their properties and discuss the 
classic and the quantum master equations and their solutions.  Finally, 
we will present few relevant examples: Yang-Mills theory, toplogical 
Yang-Mills theory and the antisymmetric tensor field theory.

Seminar pocinje u 11:15 uzivo na Fizickom fakultetu u sali 665.


Pozdrav!

Marija
