We consider generating functionals of Green's functions with external fields in the framework of BV and BLT quantization schemes for general gauge theories. The corresponding Ward identities are obtained, and the gauge dependence is studied.

We continue investigation of soft breaking of BRST symmetry in the Batalin–Vilkovisky (BV) formalism beyond regularizations like dimensional ones used in our previous paper [JHEP 1110, 043 (2011)]. We generalize a definition of soft breaking of BRST symmetry valid for general gauge theories and arbitrary gauge fixing. The gauge dependence of generating functionals of Green's functions is investigated. It is proved that such introduction of a soft breaking of BRST symmetry into gauge theories leads to inconsistency of the conventional BV formalism.

A joint introduction of composite and background fields into non-Abelian quantum gauge theories is suggested based on the symmetries of the generating functional of Green’s functions, with the systematic analysis focused on quantum Yang–Mills theories, including the properties of the generating functional of vertex Green’s functions (effective action). For the effective action in such theories, gauge dependence is found in terms of a nilpotent operator with composite and background fields, and on-shell independence from gauge fixing is established. The basic concept of a joint introduction of composite and background fields into non-Abelian gauge theories is extended to the Volovich–Katanaev model of two-dimensional gravity with dynamical torsion, as well as to the Gribov–Zwanziger theory.

The aim of this letter is to consider the possibility of constructing a generalized canonical quantization method for arbitrary dynamical systems with first-class constraints based on the osp (1, 2) supersymmetry principle. This proposal can be considered as a counterpart to the osp (1, 2)-covariant Lagrangian quantization method introduced recently by Geyer, Lavrov and Mülsch. The gauge dependence of Green's functions is studied. It is shown that if the parameter m2 of the osp (1, 2) superalgebra is not equal to zero, then the vacuum functional and S-matrix depend on the gauge. In the limit m→0 the gauge independence of vacuum functional and S-matrix are restored. The Ward identities related to the osp (1, 2) symmetry are derived.

The gauge dependence of the effective action of composite fields is investigated. The Ward identities for general gauge theories with arbitrary composite fields are found. It is proved that the extremum of the action of composite fields does not depend on the gauge condition. An example of the calculation of the effective action of composite fields in Yang-Mills theory is discussed.

Lagrangian quantization rules for general gauge theories are proposed on a basis of a superfield formulation of the standard BRST symmetry. Independence of the S-matrix on a choice of the gauge is proved. The Ward identities in terms of superfields are derived.
