We quantize the topological σ-model. The quantum master equation of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism ΔρΨ=0 appears as a condition which eliminates the exact states from the BRST invariant states Ψ defined by QΨ=0. The phase space of the BV formalism is a supermanifold with a specific symplectic structure, called the fermionic Kähler manifold.

We show that the Kähler structure can be naturally incorporated in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. The phase space of the BV formalism becomes a fermionic Kähler manifold. By introducing an isometry we explicitly construct the fermionic irreducible hermitian symmetric space. We then give some solutions of the master equation in the BV formalism.

A generalized version is proposed for the field–antifield formalism. The antibracket operation is defined in arbitrary field–antifield coordinates. The antisymmetric definitions are given for first- and second-class constraints. In the case of second-class constraints the Dirac's antibracket operation is defined. The quantum master equation as well as the hypergauge fixing procedure are formulated in a coordinate–invariant way. The general hypergauge functions are shown to be antisymmetric first–class constraints whose Jacobian matrix determinant is constant on the constraint surface. The BRST-type generalized transformations are defined and the functional integral is shown to be independent of the hypergauge variations admitted. In the case of reduced phase space the Dirac's antibrackets are used instead of the ordinary ones.

AbstractLet X be a compact Kähler manifold. Let $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m be closed positive currents of bi-degree (1, 1) on X and T an arbitrary closed positive current on X. We introduce the non-pluripolar product relative to T of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m . We recover the well-known non-pluripolar product of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m when T is the current of integration along X. Our main results are a monotonicity property of relative non-pluripolar products, a necessary condition for currents to be of relative full mass intersection in terms of Lelong numbers, and the convexity of weighted classes of currents of relative full mass intersection. The former two results are new even when T is the current of integration along X.

We prove that the canonical bundle of a foliation by curves on a compact Kähler manifold is pseudoeffective, unless the foliation is a (special) foliation by rational curves.
