Abstract

We construct and compare two alternative quantizations, as a time-orderable prefactorization algebra and as an algebraic quantum field theory valued in cochain complexes, of a natural collection of free BV theories on the category of m-dimensional globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. Our comparison is realized as an explicit isomorphism of time-orderable prefactorization algebras. The key ingredients of our approach are the retarded and advanced Green’s homotopies associated with free BV theories, which generalize retarded and advanced Green’s operators to cochain complexes of linear differential operators.
