Quantization and renormalization of the manifest left-right symmetric model of electroweak interactions

Quantization;Ind rc normalization of the left-right symmetric model is the main purpose of the paper. First the model at tree level with a Higgs sector containing one bidoublet and two triplets is precisely discussed. Then the canonical quantization and Faddeev Poppov Lagrangian are carried out ('t Hooft gauge). The BRST symmetry is discussed. Subsequently the on-mass-shell renormalization is performed and as a test of consistency, the renormalization of the ZN(i)N(j) vertex is analyzed. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
