Gauge-fixing parameter independence from BRST symmetry

ID: gauge-fixing-parameter-independence-from-brst-symmetry

For auxiliary-field covariant gauge fixing, varying the parameter inserts a BRST-exact operator. Its correlations with separated physical BRST-closed operators vanish by the BRST Ward identity. Normalized physical correlators are therefore independent of the parameter under the invariant-measure and boundary assumptions.
