Algebraic Characterization of Vector Supersymmetry in Topological Field Theories
arXiv:hep-th/9706133 · doi:10.1063/1.532356
Abstract
An algebraic cohomological characterization of a class of linearly broken Ward identities is provided. The examples of the topological vector supersymmetry and of the Landau ghost equation are discussed in detail. The existence of such a linearly broken Ward identities turns out to be related to BRST exact antifield dependent cocycles with negative ghost number.
