Chevalley-Eilenberg and BRST cohomology: constructions and applications

Working seminar: We begin with a discussion of Lie algebra cohomology in purely mathematical context. Then we move to a physical language and discuss BRST cohomology, prove their isomorphism to the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology and discuss applications to Marsden-Weinstein reduction and quantization.

Notes: Lecture 1, Lecture 2, Lecture 3, Lecture 4.
