BV formalism in perturbative algebraic quantum field theory
Kasia Rejzner
(York University)
Abstract
In this talk I will review how the BV formalism is used in quantizing theories with local gauge symmetries within the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory. The latter is a mathematically rigorous approach to QFT that combines the locality idea going back to Haag and Kastler with Epstein-Glaser renormalization. In my talk I will also show how these methods can also lead to the construction of a factorization algebra.
