A Deformation of Three Dimensional BF Theory
We consider a deformation of three dimensional BF theory by means of the antifield BRST formalism. Possible deformations for the action and the gauge symmetries are analyzed. We find a new class of gauge theories which include nonabelian BF theory, higher dimensional nonlinear gauge theory and topological membrane theory. ∗ E-mail address: [email protected] Present Address: Yukawa Inst...
متن کامل4-dimensional Bf Theory as a Topological Quantum Field Theory
Starting from a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is equipped with an invariant nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, we show that 4-dimensional BF theory with cosmological term gives rise to a TQFT satisfying a generalization of Atiyah's axioms to manifolds equipped with principal G-bundle. The case G = GL(4; R) is especially interesting because every 4-manifold is then naturally equipped with a ...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Chern-Simons and BF Theories
Our aim in this note is to clarify a relationship between covariant Chern-Simons 3-dimensional theory and Schwartz type topological field theory known also as BF theory.
متن کاملFive-Dimensional BF Theory and Four-Dimensional Current Algebra
We consider the relation between the five-dimensional BF model and a fourdimensional local current algebra from the point of view of perturbative local quantum field theory. We use an axial gauge fixing procedure and show that it allows for a well defined theory which actually can be solved exactly. On leave from the Département de Physique Théorique, Université de Genève. Supported by the “Fon...
متن کاملM ar 1 99 2 Chiral Current Algebras in three – dimensional BF – Theory with boundary
We consider the three–dimensional BF–model with planar boundary in the axial gauge. We find two–dimensional conserved chiral currents living on the boundary and satisfying Kac–Moody algebras.
