Abstract A quantum gauge theory is anomalous within the BRST quantization if there does not exist any conserved, nilpotent BRST charge. What is to be called the BRST charge is then either a nilpotent of a conserved charge. It is proposed that a particular conserved charge may be used to consistently quantize an anomalous gauge theory.

Pseudoscalar Field as a Possible Candidate for Phantom Field
We demonstrate the existence of a single pseudoscalar (PS) field in the mathematically backed and parity‐preserving modifications of the standard Stückelberg formalism (SSF) in the context of the Lagrangian formulation of the (i) two (1 + 1)‐dimensional (2D) massive Abelian 1‐form gauge theory, (ii) three (2 + 1)‐dimensional (3D) massive Abelian 2‐form

BRST-BV quantization of gauge theories with global symmetries
We consider the general gauge theory with a closed irreducible gauge algebra possessing the non-anomalous global (super)symmetry in the case when the gauge fixing procedure violates the global invariance of classical action.

Irreducible Hamiltonian BRST symmetry for reducible first-class systems
An irreducible Hamiltonian BRST quantization method for reducible first-class systems is proposed. The general theory is illustrated on a two-stage reducible model, the link with the standard reducible BRST treatment being also emphasized.Comment: Latex ...

Open String Renormalization Group Flow as a Field Theory
Abstract This article shows that the integral flow‐lines of the RG‐flow of open string theory can be interpreted as the solitons of a Hořova–Lifshitz sigma‐model of open membranes. The authors argue that the effective background description of this model implies the g‐theorem of open string theory.

Spin fields for the spinning particle
We propose an analogue of spin fields for the relativistic RNS-particle in 4 dimensions, in order to describe Ramond-Ramond states as “two-particle” excitations on the world line.

On the canonical formulation of gauge field theories and Poincaré transformations
We address the Hamiltonian formulation of classical gauge field theories while putting forward results some of which are not entirely new, though they do not appear to be well known.

Field-Dependent BRST-antiBRST Lagrangian Transformations [PDF]
We continue our study of finite BRST-antiBRST transformations for general gauge theories in Lagrangian formalism, initiated in [arXiv:1405.0790[hep-th] and arXiv:1406.0179[hep-th]], with a doublet $\lambda_{a}$, $a=1,2$, of anticommuting Grassmann ...
