BRST symmetries in SU(3) linear sigma model

Abstract

We study the BRST symmetries in the SU(3) linear sigma model which is constructed through introduction of a novel matrix for the Goldstone boson fields satisfying geometrical constraints embedded in SU(2) subgroup. To treat these constraints we exploit the improved Dirac quantization scheme. We also discuss phenomenological aspacts in the mean field approach to this model.Comment: 17 pages, no figur
