We introduce external sources J_A directly into the quantum master action W of the field-antifield formalism instead of the effective action. The external sources J_A lead to a set of BRST-invariant functions W^A that are in antisymplectic involution. As a byproduct, we encounter quasi--groups with open gauge algebras.

  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.
