nLab semiinfinite cohomology

Semiinfinite cohomology (or semi-infinite cohomology) is a mathematical counterpart of BRST reduction. The name corresponds to working with resolutions involving certain subspaces of infinite-dimensional Fock representations which correspond to half-dimensional splittings.

In mathematics it is introduced by Boris Feigin.
