On the gauge invariant Lagrangian for Seiberg-Witten topological monopoles (Q675818)

A topological action, invariant under a very large class of local symmetries, which after BRST fixing reduces to the Seiberg-Witten monopole theory, is constructed. The BRST generator (charge) is nilpotent off-shell. The possibility of relating the SU(2) topological quantum field theory directly to the Seiberg-Witten theory is one of the main consequences of the paper. Finally, it is shown that the twisted \(N=2\) supersymmetric algebra used to get Seiberg-Witten topological theory may be directly obtained from the nilpotent BRST charge.
