These notes give an introduction to the mathematical framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky and Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky formalisms. Some of the presented content was given as a mini course by the first author at the 2018 QSPACE conference in Benasque.

  1. Symmetries Beget Symmetries: Ghostly Higher-Form Symmetries and the Descent Equation

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the BV formalism, the authors show that descent equations turn ordinary higher-form symmetries into families of 'ghostly' symmetries generated by currents of nonzero ghost number.

  2. Reframing classical mechanics: An AKSZ sigma model perspective

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Gozzi-Reuter-Thacker path integral for classical mechanics is recovered as a gauge-fixed one-dimensional AKSZ sigma model with target T*(T[1]M × R[1]).
