AKSZ-BV Formalism and Courant Algebroid-induced Topological Field Theories
read the original abstract
We give a detailed exposition of the Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz- Zaboronsky superfield formalism using the language of graded manifolds. As a main illustarting example, to every Courant algebroid structure we associate canonically a three-dimensional topological sigma-model. Using the AKSZ formalism, we construct the Batalin-Vilkovisky master action for the model.

Asymptotic boundary structure of Lagrangian gauge theories
Bulk Q-cocycles determine renormalized and anomaly Q-cocycles on asymptotic boundaries of gauge PDEs, with the anomaly structure reproducing the holographic Weyl anomaly in AdS.

Homotopies in Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism
Reviews homotopies in geometric BV formalism and builds new examples from RG flow and gauge changes to produce spans of quantum master actions with isomorphic effective actions.

Gauged Courant sigma models
Gauged Courant sigma models extend Courant sigma models by adding gauge symmetries from Lie algebroids and Courant algebroids, with consistency ensured by flatness conditions on target-space curvatures and torsions.

Q-Manifolds and Sigma Models
