Yang-Mills BRST Noether current

ID: yang-mills-brst-noether-current

For the left-parameter convention and ghost kinetic term , localization of the BRST symmetry yields this conserved Noether current. Subtract the total-derivative contribution in the Lagrangian variation. The BRST charge is the spatial integral of . The antighost term has the displayed sign because the parameter and antighost field derivative anticommute.
