Towards holography in the BV-BFV setting


Abstract in English

We show how the BV-BFV formalism provides natural solutions to descent equations, and discuss how it relates to the emergence of holographic counterparts of given gauge theories. Furthermore, by means of an AKSZ-type construction we reproduce the Chern-Simons to Wess-Zumino-Witten correspondence from infinitesimal local data, and show an analogous correspondence for BF theory. We discuss how holographic correspondences relate to choices of polarisation relevant for quantisation, proposing a semi-classical interpretation of the quantum holographic principle.
