Aspects of BRST Quantization
arXiv:hep-th/0201124 · doi:10.1007/978-3-540-31532-2_3
Abstract
BRST-methods provide elegant and powerful tools for the construction and analysis of constrained systems, including models of particles, strings and fields. These lectures provide an elementary introduction to the ideas, illustrated with some important physical applications.
