The BV-BFV Formalism (Alberto Cattaneo, University of Zurich)

21.04.2020 15:00 – 17:00

The BV-BFV formalism unifies the BV formalism (which deals with the problem of fixing the gauge of field theories) with the BFV formalism (which yields a cohomological resolution of the reduced phase space of a classical field theory). I will explain how this formalism arises and how it can be quantized. I will also discuss some examples, including the Poisson sigma model and its relation to deformation quantization.
