Abstract

A Lagrange quantization scheme for a general gauge theory based on the BRST-and anti-BRST-symmetry principles is proposed in the superspace D=d+2, where d is the space-time dimension. For superfields, the BRST- and anti-BRST-transformations are realized as shifts along the auxiliary (Grassmann) coordinates of the superspace.
