[HTML][HTML] BRST cohomology is Lie algebroid cohomology

W Jia, MS Klinger, RG Leigh - Nuclear Physics B, 2023 - Elsevier
In this paper we demonstrate that the exterior algebra of an Atiyah Lie algebroid generalizes
the familiar notions of the physicist's BRST complex. To reach this conclusion, we develop a …

Topics in Weyl Geometry and Quantum Anomalies

W Jia - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.02695, 2024 - arxiv.org
The first part of this thesis focuses on the Weyl-covariant nature of holography. We
generalize the Fefferman-Graham (FG) ambient construction for conformal geometry to a …

Unfolding conformal geometry

The Schouten tensor as a connection in the unfolding of 3D conformal higher-spin fields

T Basile, R Bonezzi, N Boulanger - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract A first-order differential equation is provided for a one-form, spin-s connection
valued in the two-row, width-(s− 1) Young tableau of GL (5). The connection is glued to a …

Gauge Fixing in QFT and the Dressing Field Method

M Guillaud, S Lazzarini, T Masson - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.19937, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we revisit the Dressing Field Method (DFM) in the context of Quantum (Gauge)
Field Theories (QFT). In order to adapt this method to the functional path integral formalism …

Tractors and Twistors from conformal Cartan geometry: a gauge theoretic approach II. Twistors

J Attard, J François - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Tractor and Twistor bundles provide natural conformally covariant calculi on 4D-Riemannian
manifolds. They have different origins but are closely related, and usually constructed …
