Abstract: We derive nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting (anti-)co-BRST symmetry transformations for the bosonized version of (1+1)-dimensional (2D) vector Schwinger model. These symmetry transformations turn out to be the analogue of co-exterior derivative of differential geometry as the total gauge-fixing term remains invariant under it. The exterior derivative is realized in terms of the (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations of the theory whereas the bosonic symmetries find their analogue in the Laplacian operator. The algebra obeyed by these symmetry transformations turns out to be exactly same as the algebra obeyed by the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry.
