Gauge fixing and abelianization in simple BRST quantization
Abstract
In a previous paper \cite{Simple} it was shown that the BRST charge for any gauge model with a Lie algebra symmetry may be decomposed as provided dynamical Lagrange multipliers are used but without introducing other matter variables in than the gauge generators in . In this paper further decompositions are derived but now by means of gauge fixing operators. As in \cite{Simple} it is shown that where are new ghosts and are nonhermitian variables satisfying the gauge algebra. However, in distinction to \cite{Simple} also solutions of the form where satisfy an abelian algebra is derived (abelianization). By means of a bigrading the BRST condition reduces to on inner product spaces whose general solutions are expressed in terms of the solutions to a proper Dirac quantization. Thus, the procedure provides for inner products for the solutions of a Dirac quantization.
