- | Take note that this procedure of modding out $\mathcal G$ from $\mathcal A$ is what leads to [[theories:quantum_theory:quantum_field_theory:ghosts|Ghosts]]. To do this properly requires to make use of the [[advanced_tools:gauge_symmetry:brst|BRST]] formalism. | + | Take note that this procedure of modding out $\mathcal G$ from $\mathcal A$ is what leads to [[advanced_notions:quantum_field_theory:ghosts|Ghosts]].
