| Abstract: | A BRST treatment of translational symmetry on flat manifolds, where torsion does not vanish, displays well-known features of differential geometry. In particular the covariant exterior derivative operator is identified as the BRST operator corresponding to translational symmetry. Its nilpotency is due to vanishing curvature on the manifold. |
