Explicit construction of BRST charge of noncommutative D-brane system

Abstract

In the BRST-BFV scheme for noncommutative D-branes with constant NS B-field, introducing ghost degrees of freedom we construct the gauge-fixed Hamiltonian and corresponding effective Lagrangian invariant under nilpotent BRST charge. It is also shown that the presence of auxiliary variables introduced via the improved Dirac formalism plays a crucial role in the construction of the BRST invariant Lagrangian. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
