Superfield approach to extended BRS symmetry in quantum gravity

Подход с использованием суперполей к протяженной BRS симметрии в квантовой гравитации

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The extended BRS symmetry for quantum gravity is studied in the framework of the superfield approach. Some possible simple g.b. terms are given; the higher-derivative gauges and the Nakanishi gauges are examined in more detail.

Riassunto

Si studia la simmetria BRS estesa per la gravità quantistica in termini di supercampi. Si danno alcuni semplici termini che rompono l’invarianza di gauge; in maggiore dettaglio si esaminano due particolari gauge, la gauge con derivate di ordine superiore e quella di Nakanishi.

Резюме

В терминах суперполей исследся протяженная BRS симметрия для квантовой гравитации. Приводятся некоторые простые члены, которые нарушают калибровочную инвариантность. Более подроьно исследуются две калибровки: калибровка с производными высших порядков и калибровка Наканиши.
