Simple BRS Gauge-Fixing

(Received May 27, 1992)

Abstract:

It is pointed out that the BRS gauge-fixing procedure has wide applicability beyond what it is as the usual gauge-fixing method. The examples we discuss are the equivalence theorem, generalized field transformations and a natural derivation of the gaugeon formalism. We also propose a direct way of BRS gauge-fixing for open gauge theories.
