  • 1. Belarusian State University, Nezalezhnasti avenue 4, Minsk 220080 (Belarus)

Description

BRST quantization of the one-dimensional constrained matrix model which describes two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the cylinder is performed. Classical and quantum BRST generators and BRST-invariant Hamiltonians are constructed. The evolution operator is expressed in terms of the BRST path integral. Advantages of the BRST quantization over the reduced phase space approach leading to the theory of N free fermions are discussed
