Description

We introduce a family of possible bosonizations of the superconformal ghosts. We divide this into two classes on the basis of the value of one of the parameters specifying the bosonization prescription. The BRST cohomology in the large algebra is trivial for one class and non-trivial for other class of bosonization. We demonstrate that the properties of the picture changing operator X(z) regulate the cohomology of QBRST in the large algebra. (orig.)
