BRST structure of non-linear superalgebras

چکیده
In this paper we analyse the structure of the BRST charge of nonlinear superalgebras. We consider quadratic non-linear superalgebras where a commutator (in terms of (super) Poisson brackets) of the generators is a quadratic polynomial of the generators. We find the explicit form of the BRST charge up to cubic order in Faddeev-Popov ghost fields for arbitrary quadratic nonlinear superalgebras. We point out the existence of constraints on structure constants of the superalgebra when the nilpotent BRST charge is quadratic in Faddeev-Popov ghost fields. The general results are illustrated by simple examples of superalgebras.

The Brst Symmetry of Affine Lie Superalgebras and Non-critical Strings
The topological eld theories associated with a ne Lie superalgebras are constructed. Their BRST symmetry is characterised by a Kazama algebra containing spin 1, 2 and 3 operators and closes linearly. Under this symmetry all operators are grouped into BRST doublets. The relation between the models constructed and non-critical string theories is explored.

We obtain an interesting realization of the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry in terms of the noncommutative q-superoscillators for the supersymmetric quantum group GLqp(1|1). In particular, we show that a unique superalgebra, obeyed by the bilinears of fermionic and bosonic noncommutative q-(super)oscillators of GLqp(1|1), is exactly identical to the one obeyed by the de...
متن کاملThe BRST Charge for the D̂ ( 2 , 1 ; α ) Non - Linear Quasi - Superconformal Algebra
The quantum BRST charge for the most general, two-dimensional, nonlinear, N = 4 quasi-superconformal algebra D̂(1, 2;α), whose linearisation is the so-called ‘large’ N = 4 superconformal algebra, is constructed. The D̂(1, 2;α) algebra has ̂ su(2)k+ ⊕ ̂ su(2)k− ⊕ û(1) Kač-Moody component, and α = k/k. As a pre-requisite to our construction, we check the D̂(1, 2;α) Jacobi identities and construct a cl...
