Field redefinitions and massive BF models in arbitrary space-time dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v3

Abstract

We show that the topological massive BF theories can be written as a pure BF term through field redefinitions. The fields are rewritten as power expansion series in the inverse of the mass parameter mm. We also give a cohomological justification of this expansion through BRST framework. In this approach the BF term can be seen as a topological generator for massive BF theories.
