introduction
  • Gauge theory = principal G-bundle
  • We require a quantization of gauge theory
  • BRST quantization is one way to quantize the theory and is a part of path integral
    • Gauge theory allows 'local symmetry' which should be ignored to be physical
    • this ignoring process leads to the cohomoloy theory.
  • BRST = quantization procedure of a classical system with constraints by introducing odd variables (“ghosts”)
  • re-packaging of Faddeev-Popov quantization
  • the conditions D = 26 and α0 = 1 for the space-time dimension D and the zero-intercept α0 of leading trajectory are required by the nilpotency QB2 = 0 of the BRS charge

BRST cohomology
  • \(\Lambda_{\infty}\) semi-infinite form
  • \(\mathfrak{g}\) \[\mathbb{Z}\]-graded Lie algebra
  • \(\sigma\) : anti-linear automorphism sending \(\mathfrak{g}_{n}\) to \(\mathfrak{g}_{-n}\)
  • \(H^2(\mathfrak{g})=0\) (i.e. no non-trivial central extension)

 

 

 

applications
  • BRST approach to minimal models
  • BRST approach to no-ghost theorem
  • BRST approach to coset constructions
