Abstract

We study the field/antifield formulation of pure Yang Mills theory in the framework of the finite field dependent BRST transformation. We show that the generating functionals corresponding to different solutions of the quantum master equation are connected through the finite field dependent BRST transformations. We establish this result with the help of several explicit examples.
