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 α0 = 1 for the space-time dimension D and the zero-intercept α0 of leading trajectory are required by the nilpotency QB2 = 0 of the BRS charge

Faddeev-Ghost determin

 

 

path integral and ghost sector
  •  
  • \(Z = \int\!\mathcal{D}X\,\mathcal{D}b \mathcal{D}c \,e^{-\int\left(\partial X \partial \bar{X} -b_{zz}\partial_{\bar{z}}c^{z}+b_{\bar{z}\bar{z}}\partial_{z}c^{\bar{z}}\right)}\)
  • DX : matter and DbDc : ghost sector
  • bc system of \epsilon=+1 (in Faddeev–Popov ghost fields)
  • \lambda=2
  • c_{b,c}=-26
  • [c]=-1,[b]=2

 

 

 

nilpotency of BRST operator

 

 

 

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)

 

 

 

applications
  • BRST approach to minimal models
  • BRST approach to no-ghost theorem
  • BRST approach to coset constructions
