A classical geometrical interpretation of the ghosts fields is presented. BRS rules follow from the Cartan-Maurer fibration theorem. The statistics of ghosts are explained and the effective quantum Lagrangian is derived without factorizing the volume of the gauge group. Topologically nontrivial ghost configurations are defined.
