abstract

We revisit the general procedure of gauge fixings and ghosts based on BRST invariance principle. It is shown that when this is applied to the higher-derivative gauge fixings, it gives the correct structure of gauge fixings and ghosts including "third ghost", previously derived at one-loop level. This procedure is solely based on the symmetry principle and is valid at full order.
