We deform the interaction between nonrelativistic point particles on a plane and a Chern-Simons field to obtain an action invariant with respect to time-dependent area-preserving diffeomorphisms. The deformed and undeformed Lagrangians are…
We construct a non-Abelian gauge theory of chiral 2-forms (self-dual gauge fields) in 6 dimensions with a spatial direction compactified on a circle of radius R. It has the following two properties. (1) It reduces to the Yang-Mills theory…
An action for a massless graviton interacting with a massive tensor field is proposed. The model is based on coupling the metric tensor to an SP(4) gauge theory spontaneously broken to $SL(2,C)$. The symmetry breaking is achieved by using a…

Recently Boulanger and Leclercq have constructed cubic four derivative $3-3-2$ vertex for interaction of spin 3 and spin 2 particles. This vertex is trivially invariant under the gauge transformations of spin 2 field, so it seemed that it…
We study a few two-dimensional models with massive and massless fermions in the hamiltonian framework and in both conventional and light-front forms of field theory. The new ingredient is a modification of the canonical procedure by taking…
We revisit the field content and consistency of the New General Relativity family of theories. These theories are constructed in a geometrical framework with a flat and metric-compatible connection, so the affine structure is entirely…
Under the hypotheses of smoothness in the coupling constant, locality, Lorentz covariance, and Poincare invariance of the deformations, combined with the preservation of the number of derivatives on each field, the consistent interactions…

We suggest an infinite-dimensional extension of the gauge transformations which includes non-Abelian tensor gauge fields. Extended gauge transformations of non-Abelian tensor gauge fields form a new large group which has natural geometrical…
We reconsider a massive dual spin 2 field theory in four spacetime dimensions. We obtain the Lagrangian that describes the lowest order coupling of the field to the four-dimensional curl of its own energy-momentum tensor. We then find some…
A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of…
We construct exact, regular and topologically non-trivial\ configurations of the coupled Einstein-nonlinear sigma model in (3+1) dimensions. The ansatz for the nonlinear $SU(2)$ field is regular everywhere and circumvents Derrick's theorem…
A new mechanism is proposed for generating neutrino masses radiatively through a non-minimal coupling to gravity of fermionic bilinears involving massive neutral fermions. Such coupling terms can arise in theories where the gravity sector…
