BRST quantization of topological field theory
Copyright policy )BRST quantization of topological field theory
Summary: The canonical quantization of the topological field theory model \(\int_M F\wedge B\), proposed by Horowitz, is examined through the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin approach. With this approach we have a manifestly covariant description of a certain class of topological quantum field theories. However, if \(M\) in the present model is any orientable four-dimensional manifold, one would end up with different theories when different polarizations are chosen. Therefore a restriction \(M= \mathbf R^1\times\Sigma\), as pointed out by Horowitz, is required for consistency.
