In this work, we study a gauge invariant local non-polynomial composite spinor field in the fundamental representation in order to establish its renormalizability. Similar studies were already done in the case of pure Yang-Mills theories…
A gauge invariant formulation for the massive axion is considered. The axion acquires mass through a topological term which couples a (pseudo)scalar and a third rank antisymmetric tensor. Duality, local and canonical equivalences with the…

In 2001, Zinoviev proposed a gauge-invariant formulation for a massive bosonic field with spin $s \geq 2$ in a spacetime of constant curvature. In this paper we carry out the Faddeev-Popov quantisation of this theory in $d$-dimensional…
