Abstract

Dependence on the gauge parameters is an important issue in gauge theories: physical quantities have to be independent. Extending BRS transformations by variation of the gauge parameter into a Grassmann variable one can control gauge parameter dependence algebraically. As application we discuss the anomaly coefficient in the Slavnov-Taylor identity, S-matrix elements, the vector two-point-function and the coefficients of renormalization group and Callan-Symanzik equation.
