Abstract
A review is given of BRST mechanisms through which theories carrying realisations of nonlinear gauge-algebra representations may also be viewed as realizing embeddings into larger gauge algebras. This process generalizes the familiar non-linear realisations of spontaneously-broken Lie-algebra gauge symmetries to ssupersymmetric and higher-spin chiral quantum gravity models.
