Hamiltonian BRST-anti-BRST Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The hamiltonian BRST-anti-BRST theory is developed in the general case of arbitrary reducible first class systems. This is done by extending the methods of homological perturbation theory, originally based on the use of a single resolution, to the case of a biresolution. The BRST and the anti-BRST generators are shown to exist. The respective links with the ordinary BRST formulation and with the sp(2) sp(2) -covariant formalism are also established.
