The Brink–Schwarz Superparticle in the Batalin–Vilkovisky Formalism

Description:

The Brink-Schwarz superparticle is a one-dimensional analogue of the Green-Schwarz superstring. In this thesis, we use the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism to study the superparticle. After proving a vanishing result for its Batalin-Vilkovisky cohomology, we explain the sense in which the superparticle exhibits general covariance in the world-line. Using techniques from rational...
