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 $\alpha_0=1$ for the space-time dimension $D$ and the zero-intercept $\alpha_0$ of leading trajectory are required by the nilpotency $Q_B^2 = 0$ of the BRS charge
gauge fixing
ghost variables
Faddeev-Ghost determinant
- Faddeev-Popov ghosts, Hitoshi Murayama
path integral and ghost sector
- \(Z = \int\!\mathcal{D}X\,\mathcal{D}c \mathcal{D}b \mathcal{D}\bar{c} \mathcal{D}\bar{b} \,e^{-\int\left(\partial X \partial \bar{X} -b_{zz}\partial_{\bar{z}}c^{z}+b_{\bar{z}\bar{z}}\partial_{z}c^{\bar{z}}\right)}\)
- \(e^{S_1(X)+S_2(b,c,\bar{b},\bar{c},\cdots,X)}\)
- DX : matter and Db : ghost Dc : antighost
- bc system of \epsilon=+1 (in Faddeev–Popov ghost fields)
- \lambda=2
- c_{b,c}=-26
- [c]=-1,[b]=2
- global issues
- discrepancies in conformal gauge
- moduli spaces
- CKV
- path integral and moduli space of Riemann surfaces
nilpotency of BRST operator
- new, global symmetry (BRST)
- Q is fermionic
- Q_{BRST}^2=0

construction of Hilbert space of states
- BRST charge acts on a huge space
- Q.v =0 <=> physical condition
- if the total central charge is not 0 but c, Q_{BRST}^2=c
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)
