Abstract

The q-deformation of the BRST algebra, the algebra of the ghost, matter and gauge field on one spacetime point is constructed using the result of the bicovariant differential calculus. We define the covariant commutation relation among the fields and their derivatives consistently with the two nilpotent operation the spacetime derivativeand the BRST operation.
