On the Free 4d Abelian 2-form and Anomalous 2d Abelian 1-form Gauge Theories
We establish a couple of striking similarities and some glaring differences between (i) the free four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) Abelian 2-form gauge theory, and (ii) the anomalous two (1 + 1)-dimensional (2D) Abelian 1-form gauge theory, within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. We demonstrate that the Lagrangian densities of the above two theories transform in a simila...

متن کاملFree Abelian 2-Form Gauge Theory: BRST Approach
We discuss various symmetry properties of the Lagrangian density of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory within the framework of BecchiRouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. The present free Abelian gauge theory is endowed with a Curci-Ferrari type condition which happens to be a key signature of the 4D nonAbelian 1-form gauge theory. In fact, it is due to the above co...
متن کاملAbelian 2-form gauge theory: special features
It is shown that the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory provides an example of (i) a class of field theoretical models for the Hodge theory, and (ii) a possible candidate for the quasi-topological field theory (q-TFT). Despite many striking similarities with some of the key topological features of the two (1+1)-dimensional (2D) free Abelian (and self-interacting non-...
متن کاملAbelian 2-form Gauge Theory: Superfield Formalism
We derive the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and antiBRST symmetry transformations for all the fields of a free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by exploiting the geometrical superfield approach to BRST formalism. The above four (3 + 1)dimensional (4D) theory is considered on a (4, 2)-dimensional supermanifold parameterized by the four even spacetime variables x (with μ = 0, 1,...
