%0 Journal Article %T BRST-Invariant Constraint Algebra in Terms of Commutators and Quantum Antibrackets %A Igor Batalin %A Igor Tyutin %J Mathematics %D 2003 %I arXiv %R 10.1023/B:TAMP.0000010628.58719.a4 %X General structure of BRST-invariant constraint algebra is established, in its commutator and antibracket forms, by means of formulation of algebra-generating equations in yet more extended phase space. New ghost-type variables behave as fields and antifields with respect to quantum antibrackets. Explicit form of BRST-invariant gauge algebra is given in detail for rank-one theories with Weyl- and Wick- ordered ghost sector. A gauge-fixed unitarizing Hamiltonian is constructed, and the formalism is shown to be physically equivalent to the standard BRST-BFV approach. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0301043v3
