Aspects of supersymmetric BRST cohomology

Abstract

The application and extension of well-known BRST cohomological methods to supersymmetric field theories are discussed. The focus is on the emergence and particular features of supersymmetry algebra cohomology in this context. In particular it is discussed and demonstrated that supersymmetry algebra cohomology emerges within the cohomological analysis of standard supersymmetric field theories whether or not the commutator algebra of the symmetry transformations closes off-shell.
