Ia. Batalin et Iv. Tyutin, ON THE MULTILEVEL FIELD ANTIFIELD FORMALISM WITH THE MOST GENERAL LAGRANGIAN HYPERGAUGES, Modern physics letters A, 9(18), 1994, pp. 1707-1715
The multilevel field-antifield formalism is constructed in a geometric
ally covariant way without imposing the unimodularity conditions on th
e hypergauge functions. Thus the version given in Refs. 1 and 2 can be
extended to cover the most general case of Lagrangian surface bases.
It is shown that the extra measure factors, required to enter the gaug
e-independent functional integrals, can be included naturally into the
multilevel scheme by modifying the boundary conditions to the quantum
master equation.
