BRST quantization

BRST quantization is a formalism used in the field of quantum field theory to handle systems with gauge symmetries. It is named after the physicists Bonora, Reisz, Sirlin, and Tyutin, who contributed to its development. BRST stands for Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin, referring to the key researchers who formulated the method. The motivation for BRST quantization arises from the challenges associated with quantizing gauge theories.
