PT-symmetry breaking hamiltonian interactions in BF models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The PT-symmetry breaking, consistent hamiltonian interactions in all n4n\geq 4 spacetime dimensions that can be added to an abelian BF model involving a set of scalar fields, two sorts of one-forms, and a system of two-forms are obtained by means of the hamiltonian deformation procedure based on local BRST cohomology. This paper enhances one of our previous works, where only PT-invariant deformations were considered. The associated coupled theory is an interacting, topological BF model exhibiting an open gauge algebra and on-shell reducibility relations.
