A Few Brst Bicomplexes
نویسنده
چکیده
There are many double complexes in the mathematics and physics literature which are related to BRST transformations and anomalies, e.g. Variational-, BRST-, Faddeev-, Koszul-Tate-, Weil-, GelfandFuks-, semi infinite-, Cech-DeRham-, foliation-, Lie group/algebrabicomplex. The goal is to identify them and to establish relations between them; to compute their cohomologies and the corresponding anomalies. Here we list and identify only few of them and refer to [11] for more details.

Homogeneous variational complexes and bicomplexes
We present a family of complexes playing the same rôle, for homogeneous variational problems, that the horizontal parts of the variational bicomplex play for variational problems on a fibred manifold. We show that, modulo certain pullbacks, each of these complexes (apart from the first one) is globally exact. All the complexes may be embedded in bicomplexes, and we show that, again modulo pullb...
متن کاملBicomplexes and Bäcklund transformations
A bicomplex is a simple mathematical structure, in particular associated with completely integrable models. The conditions defining a bicomplex are a special form of a parameter-dependent zero curvature condition. We generalize the concept of a Darboux matrix to bicomplexes and use it to derive Bäcklund transformations for several models. The method also works for Moyal-deformed equations with ...

We construct a local, gauge-fixed, lattice Yang-Mills theory with an exact BRST invariance, and with the same perturbative expansion as the standard Yang-Mills theory. The ghost sector, and some of its BRST transformation rules, are modified to get around Neuberger’s theorem. A special term is introduced in the action to regularize the Gribov horizons, and the limit where the regulator is remov...
متن کاملLocal BRST cohomology of the gauged principal non-linear sigma model
The local BRST cohomology of the gauged non-linear sigma model on a group manifold is worked out for any Lie group G. We consider both, the case where the gauge field is dynamical and the case where it has no kinetic term (G/G topological theory). Our results shed a novel light on the problem of gauging the WZW term as well as on the nature of the topological terms introduced a few years ago by...
متن کاملKoszul Bicomplexes and Generalized Koszul Com- Plexes in Projective Dimension One
We describe Koszul type complexes associated with a linear map from any module to a free module, and vice versa with a linear map from a free module to an arbitrary module, generalizing the classical Koszul complexes. Given a short complex of finite free modules, we assemble these complexes to what we call Koszul bicomplexes. They are used in order to investigate the homology of the Koszul comp...
