Chiral Bosons as solutions of the BV master equation 2D chiral gauge theories
We construct the chiral Wess-Zumino term as a solution for the
Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation for anomalous two-dimensional gauge
theories, working in an extended field-antifield space, where the gauge group
elements are introduced as additional degrees of freedom.
We analyze the Abelian and the non-Abelian cases, calculating in both cases
the BRST generator in order to show the physical equivalence between this
chiral solution for the master equation and the usual (non-chiral) one.Comment: 11 pages, TEX dialet, IF/UFRJ-94-
Quantum mechanics over a q-deformed (0+1)-dimensional superspace
We built up a explicit realization of (0+1)-dimensional q-deformed superspace
coordinates as operators on standard superspace. A q-generalization of
supersymmetric transformations is obtained, enabling us to introduce scalar
superfields and a q-supersymmetric action. We consider a functional integral
based on this action. Integration is implemented, at the level of the
coordinates and at the level of the fields, as traces over the corresponding
representation spaces. Evaluation of these traces lead us to standard
functional integrals. The generation of a mass term for the fermion field
leads, at this level, to an explicitely broken version of supersymmetric
quantum mechanics.Comment: 11 pages, Late
