On the Calculability of Observables in Topological Quantum Mechanical Models

Abstract

We consider a superconformal quantum mechanical system which has been chosen on the basis of a local BRST topological invariance. We suggest that it truly leads to topological observables which we compute. The absences of a ground state and of a mass gap are special features of this system.
