Description

In this talk, I will describe how supersymmetric localisation can be reinterpret and enhanced through the BV formalism. I will give a brief review of supersymmetric localisation, followed by a brief review of BRST quantisation. After this, I will explain how localisation can be reinterpret through the BRST framework. Then, I will explain how the BV formalism improves on the BRST formalism for localisation, and how this leads to improved methods for supersymmetric localisation with on-shell closing supermultiplets.
