How to Solve Quantum Nonlinear Abelian Gauge Theory in Two Dimension in the Heisenberg Picture

The new method based on the operator formalism proposed by Abe and Nakanishi is applied to the quantum nonlinear abelian gauge theory in two dimension. The soluble models in this method are extended to wider class of quantum field theories. We obtain the exact solution in the canonical-quantization operator formalism in the Heisenberg picture. So this analysis might shed some light on the analysis of gravitational theory and non-polynomial field theories.Comment: LaTeX, 12 pages, to be published in IJMP

Deformation of Batalin-Vilkovisky Structures

A Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is most general framework to construct consistent quantum field theories. Its mathematical structure is called {\it a Batalin-Vilkovisky structure}. First we explain rather mathematical setting of a Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. Next, we consider deformation theory of a Batalin-Vilkovisky structure. Especially, we consider deformation of topological sigma models in any dimension, which is closely related to deformation theories in mathematics, including deformation from commutative geometry to noncommutative geometry. We obtain a series of new nontrivial topological sigma models and we find these models have the Batalin-Vilkovisky structures based on a series of new algebroids.Comment: references adde
