The quantum description of non-linear systems finds a deep obstruction in the Canonical Quantization framework and Non-Linear Sigma Models constitute the best representatives. In this paper, we face the quantization of such systems on the grounds of a Group Approach to Quantization, and extend the algorithm to the specific case of massive Non-Abelian gauge theories. The basic geometric structures behind are the so-called "jet-gauge groups".

Abstract We study quantum corrections to hypersurfaces of dimension d + 1 > 2 embedded in generic higher-dimensional spacetimes. Manifest covariance is maintained throughout the analysis and our methods are valid for arbitrary co-dimension and arbitrary bulk metric. A variety of theories which are prominent in the modern amplitude literature arise as special limits: the scalar sector of Dirac-Born-Infeld theories and their multi-field variants, as well as generic non-linear sigma models and extensions thereof. Our explicit one-loop results unite the leading corrections of all such models under a single umbrella. In contrast to naive computations which generate effective actions that appear to violate the non-linear symmetries of their classical counterparts, our efficient methods maintain manifest covariance at all stages and make the symmetry properties of the quantum action clear. We provide an explicit comparison between our compact construction and other approaches and demonstrate the ultimate physical equivalence between the superficially different results.
