Abstract

In this paper we analyze the structure of the BRST charge of nonlinear superalgebras. We consider quadratic nonlinear superalgebras where a commutator (in terms of (super-)Poisson brackets) of the generators is a quadratic polynomial of the generators. We find the explicit form of the BRST charge up to cubic order in Faddeev–Popov ghost fields for arbitrary quadratic nonlinear superalgebras. We point out the existence of constraints on structure constants of the superalgebra when the nilpotent BRST charge is quadratic in Faddeev–Popov ghost fields. The general results are illustrated by simple examples of superalgebras.
