Computing the Brst Operator Used in Quantization of Gauge Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that for a large class of non-holonomic quantum mechanical systems one can make the computation of BRST charge fully algorithmic. Two computer algebra programs written in the language of REDUCE are described. They are able to realize the complex calculations needed to determine the charge for general nonlinear algebras. Some interesting specific solutions are discussed.

Hamiltonian BRST and Batalin-Vilkovisky formalisms for second quantization of gauge theories
Gauge theories that have been first quantized using the Hamiltonian BRST operator formalism are described as classical Hamiltonian BRST systems with a BRST charge of the form 〈Ψ, Ω̂Ψ〉even and with natural ghost and parity degrees for all fields. The associated proper solution of the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation is constructed from first principles. Both of these formulations can ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Quantization of Gauge Theories
We develop a new operator quantization scheme for gauge theories in which the dynamics of the ghost sector is described by a N = 2 supersymmetry. In this scheme no gauge condition is imposed on the gauge fields. The corresponding path integral is explicitly Lorentz invariant and, in contrast to the BRST-BFV path integral in the Lorentz gauge, it is free of the Gribov ambiguity, i.e., it is also...
متن کاملQuantization of a generally covariant gauge system with two super Hamiltonian constraints
The Becci-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) operator quantization of a finitedimensional gauge system featuring two quadratic super Hamiltonian and m linear supermomentum constraints is studied as a model for quantizing generally covariant gauge theories. The proposed model “completely” mimics the constraint algebra of general relativity. The Dirac constraint operators are identified by realizing the B...
متن کاملBRST Quantization of Noncommutative Gauge Theories
In this paper, the BRST symmetry transformation is presented for the noncommutative U(N) gauge theory. The nilpotency of the charge associated to this symmetry is then proved. As a consequence for the space-like non-commutativity parameter, the Hilbert space of physical states is determined by the cohomology space of the BRST operator as in the commutative case. Further, the unitarity of the S-...

We present an alternative quantization for irreducible open gauge theories. The method relies on the possibility of modifying the classical BRST operator and the gauge-fixing action written as in Yang-Mills type theories, in order to obtain an on-shell invariant quantum action by using equations characterizing the full gauge algebra. From this follows then the construction of an off-shell versi...
