Comments on Unitarity in the Antifield Formalism
Glenn Barnich, Marc Henneaux
TL;DR
This paper discusses how the local completeness condition in the antifield formalism is crucial for establishing unitarity in gauge theories, highlighting its importance in the theoretical framework.
Contribution
It reveals the significance of the local completeness condition in proving unitarity within the antifield formalism, connecting gauge fixing and unitarity proofs.
Findings
Local completeness condition is essential for unitarity proof.
The condition links gauge fixing to unitarity.
Provides theoretical insight into antifield formalism's consistency.
Abstract
It is shown that the local completeness condition introduced in the analysis of the locality of the gauge fixed action in the antifield formalism plays also a key role in the proof of unitarity.
