In this article, we reconsider the formulation of Yangian symmetry for planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and we investigate to what extent this symmetry lifts to the beta/gamma-deformation of the model. We first apply cohomology…
We study theories of the "General Relativity + Yang-Mills" type in 4d spacetime with cosmological constant, focusing on formulations where the basic variables are connections and curvatures (but no metric). We present a new Lagrangian for…
We develop the BRST approach to gauge invariant Lagrangian construction for the massive mixed symmetry integer higher spin fields described by the rank-two Young tableaux in arbitrary dimensional Minkowski space. The theory is formulated in…
A non-Abelian gauge field framework is proposed using the hypercomplex ring formalism. This extension generates non-compact hyperbolic symmetries, which, alongside the compact gauge symmetries, double the internal degrees of freedom. This…

It is shown that the SO(3) gauge field configurations can be completely characterised by certain gauge invariant vector fields. The singularities of these vector fields describe the topological aspects of the gauge field configurations. The…
