Geometric Interpretation of the Quantum Master Equation in the BRST--anti-BRST Formalism
Abstract
The geometric interpretation of the antibracket formalism given by Witten is extended to cover the anti-BRST symmetry. This enables one to formulate the quantum master equation for the BRST--anti-BRST formalism in terms of integration theory over a supermanifold. A proof of the equivalence of the standard antibracket formalism with the antibracket formalism for the BRST--anti-BRST symmetry is also given.
