Shuhan JIang: Equivariant Localization in Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism

Abstract

 In this talk, we reformulate the equivariant localization principle within the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. We derive localization formulas of the Atiyah-Bott and cohomological field theory types and discuss their applications in Poisson geometry and quantum field theory. This is joint work with Alberto Cattaneo.
