Abstract

After briefly describing Hamiltonian BRST methods and the multisymplectic approach to field theory, a symmetric geometric Lagrangian is studied by extending the BRST method to the multisymplectic setting. This work uses ideas first introduced by Hrabak [On the multisymplectic origin of the nonabelian deformation algebra of pseudoholomorphic embeddings in strictly almost Kähler ambient manifolds, and the corresponding BRST algebra, preprint (1999), arXiv: math-ph/9904026].
