It has been invented to fix gauges associated with symmetries that do not close off-shell. Homological perturbation theory is introduced and used to develop the integration theory behind BV and to describe the BV quantization of a Lagrangian system with symmetries. Localization (illustrated in terms of Duistermaat–Heckman localization) as well as anomalous symmetries are discussed in the framework of BV. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Mathematical Physics, 51(1), p. 1-31 | Publisher: | American Institute of Physics | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1089-7658 0022-2488 |
