Algebraic Properties of BRST Coupled Doublets
نویسنده
چکیده
We characterize the dependence on doublets of the cohomology of an arbitrary nilpotent differential s (including BRST differentials and classical linearized Slavnov-Taylor (ST) operators) in terms of the cohomology of the doublets-independent component of s. All cohomologies are computed in the space of local integrated formal power series. We drop the usual assumption that the counting operator for the doublets commutes with s (decoupled doublets) and discuss the general case where the counting operator does not commute with s (coupled doublets). The results are purely algebraic and do not rely on power-counting arguments. 1 [email protected]

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.
متن کاملFree Abelian 2-Form Gauge Theory: BRST Approach
We discuss various symmetry properties of the Lagrangian density of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory within the framework of BecchiRouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. The present free Abelian gauge theory is endowed with a Curci-Ferrari type condition which happens to be a key signature of the 4D nonAbelian 1-form gauge theory. In fact, it is due to the above co...
متن کاملAlgebraic characterization of gauge anomalies on a nontrivial bundle
We discuss the algebraic way of solving the descent equations corresponding to the BRST consistency condition for the gauge anomalies and the Chern–Simons terms on a nontrivial bundle. The method of decomposing the exterior derivative as a BRST commutator is extended to the present case.
متن کاملAlgebraic Structures of Topological Yang-Mills Theory
We discuss the algebraic structure of the various BRST symmetries associated with topological Yang-Mills theory as a generalization of the BRS analysis developed for the non-Abelian anomaly in the local Yang-Mills theory. We show that our BRST algebra leads to an extended Russian formula and descent equations, which contains the descent equation of Yang-Mills theory as sub-relations. We propose...
