The aim of these notes is to introduce the quantum master equation {S, S}−2i \hbar \Delta S = 0, and to show its relations to the theory of Lie algebras representations and to perturbative expansions of Gaussian integrals. The relations of the classical master equation {S, S} = 0 with the BRST formalisms are also described. Being an introduction, only finite-dimensional examples will be considered.

Abstract

The aim of these notes is to introduce the quantum master equation {S, S}−2i \hbar \Delta S = 0, and to show its relations to the theory of Lie algebras representations and to perturbative expansions of Gaussian integrals. The relations of the classical master equation {S, S} = 0 with the BRST formalisms are also described. Being an introduction, only finite-dimensional examples will be considered.
