BRST current in derivative-b gauge fixing
ID: brst-current-in-derivative-b-gauge-fixing
Use gauge-fixing term , ghost term , and the left-acting BRST differential with . Localizing the odd parameter on the left yields . Moving it through the antighost derivative determines the last sign. Changing the overall Noether convention reverses this current; rewriting gauge fixing by integration by parts changes its improvement term. Every summand has ghost number one.
