A note on path integrals and time evolutions in BRST quantization

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-11-01 v1

Abstract

Recent formal solutions of BRST quantization on inner product spaces within the operator method are shown to lead to an unexpected interpretation of the conventional path integral formulation. The relation between the Hamiltonians in the two formulations is nontrivial. For the operator method the correspondence requires certain quantum rules which make the formal solutions exact, and for the path integral the correspondence yields a precise connection between boundary conditions and the choice of gauge fixing.
