The Wess-Zumino Consistency Condition For p-Form Gauge Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
The general solution of the antifield-independent Wess-Zumino consistency condition is worked out for models involving exterior form gauge fields of arbitrary degree. We consider both the free theory and theories with Chapline-Manton couplings. Our approach relies on solving the full set of descent equations by starting from the last element down (“bottom”). * [email protected], [email protected]

Anomaly Cancellation Condition in Abelian Lattice Gauge Theories
We analyze the general solution of the Wess-Zumino consistency condition in abelian lattice gauge theories, without taking the classical continuum limit. We find that, if the anomaly density is a local pseudo-scalar field on the lattice, the non-trivial anomaly is always proportional to the anomaly coefficient in the continuum theory. The possible extension of this result to non-abelian theorie...
متن کاملGauge anomalies and the Witten–Seiberg correspondence for N=1 supersymmetric theories on noncommutative spaces
The explicit form of non-Abelian noncommutative supersymmetric (SUSY) chiral anomaly is calculated, the Wess–Zumino consistency condition is verified and the correspondence of the Yang–Mills sector to the previously obtained results is shown. We generalize the Seiberg–Witten map to the case of N=1 SUSY Yang–Mills theory and calculations up to the second order in the noncommutativity parameter a...
متن کاملField Dependent Gauge Couplings in Locally Supersymmetric Effective Quantum Field Theories ⋆
We investigate the field dependence of the gauge couplings of locally supersymmetric effective quantum field theories. We find that the Weyl rescaling of supergravity gives rise to Wess-Zumino terms that affect the gauge couplings at the one-loop level. These Wess-Zumino terms are crucial in assuring supersymmetric consistency of both perturbative and non-perturbative gauge interactions. At the...
متن کاملNew Algebraic Equation determining Anomalies
We derive a new algeraic relation which can be used to find various spinor loop anomalies. We show that this relation includes the Wess-Zumino consistent condition. For an example, we consider the chiral anomaly. With this formalism, the consistent anomaly and the covariant anomaly are determined simultaneously.

Reducible off-shell anomalous gauge theories are studied in the framework of an extended Field-Antifield formalism by introducing new variables associated with the anomalous gauge degrees of freedom. The Wess-Zumino term for these theories is constructed and new gauge invariances appear. The quantum effects due to the extra variables are considered. December 1994 UB-ECM-PF 94/25
