| dc.description | Consider a physical system for which a mathematically rigorous geometric quantization procedure exists. Now subject the system to a finite set of irreducible first class (bosonic) constraints. It is shown that there is a mathematically rigorous BRST quantization of the constrained system whose cohomology at ghost number zero recovers the constrained quantum states. Moreover this space of constrained states has a well-defined Hilbert space structure inherited from that of the original system. Treatments of these ideas in the Physics literature are more general but suffer from having states with infinite or zero "norms" and thus are not admissible as states. Also the BRST operator for many systems require regularization to be well-defined. In our more restricted context we show that our treatment does not suffer from any of these difficulties.
