External Sources in Field-Antifield Formalism
Abstract
We introduce external sources JA directly into the quantum master action W of the field-antifield formalism instead of the effective action. The external sources JA lead to a set of BRST-invariant functions WA that are in antisymplectic involution. As a byproduct, we encounter quasi--groups with open gauge algebras.
