BRST quantization of the CP/sup 1/ model with Chern-Simons term in 2+1 dimensions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

Field theory on CP/sup 1/ with a Chern-Simons term is analyzed classically and then quantized. The constrained system is disentangled using the elegant Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) method. The quantum Hamiltonian, the BRST charge, and the anti-BRST charge are derived. Application to a recently proposed model with principal chiral fields is elaborated.
