In this paper, the perturbative renormalization of the abelian Higgs-Kibble model is studied within the class of renormalizable gauges which are odd under charge conjugation.Abstract:
This article is devoted to the perturbative renormalization of the abelian Higgs-Kibble model, within the class of renormalizable gauges which are odd under charge conjugation. The Bogoliubov Parasiuk Hepp-Zimmermann renormalization scheme is used throughout, including the renormalized action principle proved by Lowenstein and Lam. The whole study is based on the fulfillment to all orders of perturbation theory of the Slavnov identities which express the invariance of the Lagrangian under a supergauge type family of non-linear transformations involving the Faddeev-Popov ghosts. Direct combinatorial proofs are given of the gauge independence and unitarity of the physicalS operator. Their simplicity relies both on a systematic use of the Slavnov identities as well as suitable normalization conditions which allow to perform all mass renormalizations, including those pertaining to the ghosts, so that the theory can be given a setting within a fixed Fock space. Some simple gauge independent local operators are constructed.read more

Renormalization of gauge theories

TL;DR: Gauge theories are characterized by the Slavnov identities which express their invariance under a family of transformations of the supergauge type which involve the Faddeev Popov ghosts as mentioned in this paper.

The TeV physics of strongly interacting W's and Z's
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the general signatures of a strongly interacting W, Z system and conclude that these two possibilities can be unambiguously distinguished by a hadron collider facility capable of observing the enhanced production of WW, WZ and ZZ pairs that will occur if W's and Z's have strong interactions.

Field theory of strings in nonconformal gauges
TL;DR: In this paper, the field theory of free strings is analyzed in gauges in which the two-dimensional metric along the string worldsheet remains as a dynamical variable, and the cohomology of the complete BRST charge is computed.

LSZ-reduction, resonances and non-diagonal propagators: Gauge fields
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the Landau gauge mixing of bosonic fields in gauge theories with exact and spontaneously broken symmetries, extending to this case the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann (LSZ) formalism of the asymptotic fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of BRS transformations by variation of the gauge parameter into a Grassmann variable is proposed to control gauge parameter dependence algebraically, and the anomaly coefficient in the Slavnov-Taylor identity, $S$-matrix elements, the vector two-point function and coefficients of renormalization group and Callan-Symanzik equation.

Superspace formulation with a new and extended BRST
TL;DR: In this article, a new SU(N) QCD in a novel quadratic gauge has been introduced which has an unusual feature of having two pairs of ghosts and thus has some unconventional BRST transformations.

A generalized p-form model in D=3
T. Pisar,J. Rant,H Zerrouki +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a topological model in three dimensions is proposed, which combines the Chern-Simons action with a BFK-model, and the finiteness of the model is shown in the framework of algebraic renormalization procedure.
