【 摘 要 】

We present a general framework for models admitting a decomposition of the type d = [delta, b], with b the BRST operator and delta a certain (even) derivation. We focus our attention on models whose fields can be described as components of two ladders W = c + A + (...) and F = phi + psi + (...) and show how they relate to some aspects of topological Yang-Mills theory. We relate our construction to the standard mathematical ideas of Cartan's G-operation and interpret W and Fas pair of algebraic connection and curvature in a certain bigraded differential algebra.
