Gauge fixing, co-BRST and time evolution in QED

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We consider BRST-invariant inner product states for quantum electrodynamics constructed from trivial BRST-invariant states and a gauge regulator. The trivial states are products of matter and ghost states and are annihilated by hermitian operators. The co-BRST operator and some further gauge-fixing regulators are found. The relation between gauge fixing and time evolution of both the trivial and the inner product states is discussed.
