We apply the formalism of extended BRS symmetry to the investigation of the gauge dependence of the effective potential in a spontaneously symmetry broken gauge theory. This formalism, which includes a set of Grassmann parameters defined as the BRS variations of the gauge-fixing parameters, allows us to derive in a quick and unambiguous way the related Nielsen identities, which express the physical gauge independence, in a class of generalized 't Hooft gauges, of the effective potential. We show in particular that the validity of the Nielsen identities does not require any constraint on the gauge-fixing parameters, to the contrary of some claims found in the literature. We use the method of algebraic renormalization, which leads to results independent of the particular renormalization scheme used.

Gauge Choices, Infrared Pitfalls, and Thermal Effects in Effective Potentials
Including a multiplicative anomaly or using the Heat Kernel method makes the one-loop effective potential in the Fermi gauge independent of the gauge parameter and improves its infrared behaviour, also at finite temperature.

Comments on the gauge dependence of the effective potential and the utility of the Vilkovisky-DeWitt formalism
At an extremum, the effective potential is independent of the gauge-fixing parameter when the gauge-fixing function has zero vacuum expectation value; the Vilkovisky-DeWitt potential is gauge-fixing independent by con...
