... the Lagrangian approach [14, 10, 11, 16, 4]. The Hamiltonian formalism gives rise to the canonical quantization, while the Lagrangian approach is used in the path-integral quantization. Usually, in classical mechanics, there is a transformation that relates these two approaches. However, for a repar ...

... are not asked to prove (but it is not difficult). This means that the variation of the variation of any field vanishes. For example, varying the antighost field once gives a term proportional to B a , and varying again, δB a =0. The existence of BRST invariance is helpful in proving renormalizabilit ...

Thus these constraints are the components of a one form. It should also be invariant under ordinary gauge transformations, as they commute with differomo ...
