Lattice BRS
Description
A definition of lattice BRS invariance is given. The requirement of lattice BRS invariance successfully replaces that of local gauge invariance as a principle for selecting allowed actions. This replacement also works to any finite order in perturbation theory, but, on the nonperturbative level one encounters an obstacle reflecting the existence of an even number of solutions to the gauge fixing problem. The problem of latticizing the classical action for open bosonic strings discovered by Witten is discussed and a possible direction for dealing with it is pointed out. 3 refs
