It is possible, however, to modify the action, such that the regular methods will be applicable by adding some additional fields, which break the gauge symmetry, which are called the &#039;&#039;ghost fields&#039;&#039;. This technique is called the &quot;Faddeev–Popov procedure&quot; (see also [[BRST quantization]]). The ghost fields are a computational tool in that they do not correspond to any real particles in external states: they &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; appear as [[virtual particle]]s in Feynman diagrams – or as the &#039;&#039;absence&#039;&#039; of some gauge configurations.  However they are necessary to preserve [[unitarity (physics)|unitarity]].&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td colspan=&quot;2&quot; class=&quot;diff-side-added&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{Quantum field theory|cTopic=Some models}}&lt;br /&gt;
In [[physics]], &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Faddeev–Popov ghosts&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (also called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ghost fields&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) are additional [[field (physics)|fields]] which are introduced into [[gauge theories|gauge]] [[quantum field theory|quantum field theories]] to maintain the consistency of the [[path integral formulation]]. They are named after [[Ludvig Faddeev]] and [[Victor Popov]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;W. F. Chen. [http://arxiv.org/abs/0803.1340v2 Quantum Field Theory and Differential Geometry]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also a more general meaning of the word &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ghost&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; in [[theoretical physics]], which is discussed below (see &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[#General ghosts in theoretical physics|general ghosts in theoretical physics]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overcounting in Feynman path integrals==&lt;br /&gt;
The necessity for Faddeev–Popov ghosts follows from the requirement that in the [[path integral formulation]], [[quantum field theory|quantum field theories]] should yield unambiguous, non-singular solutions.  This is not possible when a [[gauge symmetry]] is present since there is no procedure for selecting any one solution from a range of physically equivalent solutions, all related by a gauge transformation.  The problem stems from the path integrals overcounting field configurations related by gauge symmetries, since those correspond to the same physical state; the [[measure (mathematics)|measure]] of the path integrals contains a factor which does not allow obtaining various results directly from the original [[Action (physics)|action]] using the regular methods (e.g., [[Feynman diagram]]s). It is possible, however, to modify the action, such that the regular methods will be applicable by adding some additional fields, which break the gauge symmetry, which are called the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;ghost fields&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. This technique is called the &amp;quot;Faddeev–Popov procedure&amp;quot; (see also [[BRST quantization]]). The ghost fields are a computational tool in that they do not correspond to any real particles in external states: they &amp;#039;&amp;#039;only&amp;#039;&amp;#039; appear as [[virtual particle]]s in Feynman diagrams – or as the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;absence&amp;#039;&amp;#039; of some gauge configurations.  However they are necessary to preserve [[unitarity (physics)|unitarity]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The exact form or formulation of ghosts is dependent on the particular [[Gauge fixing|gauge]] chosen, although the same physical results are obtained with all the gauges.  The [[Gauge fixing|Feynman-&amp;#039;t Hooft gauge]] is usually the simplest gauge for this purpose, and is assumed for the rest of this article.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spin-statistics relation violated==&lt;br /&gt;
The Faddeev–Popov ghosts violate the [[spin-statistics relation]], which is another reason why they are often regarded as &amp;quot;non-physical&amp;quot; particles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in [[Yang–Mills theory|Yang–Mills theories]] (such as [[quantum chromodynamics]]) the ghosts are [[complex number|complex]] [[scalar field theory|scalar fields]] ([[spin (physics)|spin]] 0), but they [[anticommutativity|anti-commute]] (like [[fermions]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, [[anticommutativity|anti-commuting]] ghosts are associated with [[fermion]]ic symmetries, while [[commutativity|commuting]] ghosts are associated with [[boson]]ic symmetries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Gauge fields and associated ghost fields==&lt;br /&gt;
Every gauge field has an associated ghost, and where the gauge field acquires a mass via the [[Higgs mechanism]], the associated ghost field acquires the same mass (in the Feynman-&amp;#039;t Hooft gauge only, not true for other gauges).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance in Feynman diagrams==&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Feynman diagram]]s the ghosts appear as closed loops wholly composed of 3-vertices, attached to the rest of the diagram via a gauge particle at each 3-vertex.  Their contribution to the [[S matrix|S-matrix]] is exactly cancelled (in the [[Feynman gauge|Feynman-&amp;#039;t Hooft gauge]]) by a contribution from a similar loop of gauge particles with only 3-vertex couplings or gauge attachments to the rest of the diagram.  (A loop of gauge particles not wholly composed of 3-vertex couplings is not cancelled by ghosts.)  The opposite sign of the contribution of the ghost and gauge loops is due to them having opposite fermionic/bosonic natures. (Closed fermion loops have an extra&amp;amp;nbsp;−1 associated with them; bosonic loops don&amp;#039;t.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ghost field Lagrangian==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian for the ghost fields &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;c^a(x)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in [[Yang–Mills theory|Yang–Mills theories]] (where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an index in the adjoint representation of the [[gauge group]]) is given by&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}_\mathrm{ghost} = \partial_\mu \overline{c}^a\partial^\mu c^a + g f^{abc}(\partial^\mu\overline{c}^a) A_\mu^b c^c. &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The first term is a kinetic term like for regular complex scalar fields, and the second term describes the interaction with the [[gauge field]]s. Note that in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;abelian&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gauge theories (such as [[quantum electrodynamics]]) the ghosts do not have any effect since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;f^{abc} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and, consequently, the ghost particles do not interact with the gauge fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General ghosts in theoretical physics==&lt;br /&gt;
The Faddeev–Popov ghosts are sometimes referred to as &amp;quot;good ghosts&amp;quot;. The &amp;quot;bad ghosts&amp;quot; represent another, more general meaning of the word &amp;quot;ghost&amp;quot; in [[theoretical physics]]: states of negative norm—or fields with the wrong sign of the kinetic term, such as [[Pauli–Villars regularization|Pauli–Villars ghosts]]—whose existence allows [[Negative probability|the probabilities to be negative]] thus violating [[Unitarity (physics)|unitarity]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changing the symmetry ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ghost particles could obtain the symmetry or break it in gauge fields. The &amp;quot;good ghost&amp;quot; particles actually obtain the symmetry by unchanging the &amp;quot;gauge fixing lagrangian&amp;quot; in a gauge transformation, while bad ghost particles break the symmetry by bringing in the non-abelian G-matrix which does change the symmetry, and this was the main reason to introduce the Gauge covariant and contravariant derivatives.&lt;br /&gt;
