The supersymmetric generalization of a recently proposed Abelian axial gauge model with antisymmetric tensor matter fields is presented.
A string-inspired 3-form-dilaton-gravity model is studied in a Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario. As expected, the rank-3 antisymmetric field is exponentially suppressed. For each mass level, the mass spectrum is bigger than the one for…
Abelian vector fields non-minimally coupled to uncharged scalar fields arise in many contexts. We investigate here through algebraic methods their consistent deformations ("gaugings"), i.e., the deformations that preserve the number (but…
Within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we show that the four $(3+1)$-dimensional (4D) massive Abelian 2-form gauge theory (without any interaction with matter fields) is a model for the Hodge theory because its…
We apply the modified triplectic formalism for quantizing several popular gauge models - non-abelian antisymmetric tensor field model, W2-gravity and two-dimensional gravity with dynamical torsion. The explicit solutions are obtained for…
In this paper we study the nonabelian, gauge invariant and asymptotically free quantum gauge theory with a mass parameter introduced in hep-th/0605050. We develop the Feynman diagram technique, calculate the mass and coupling constant…

A topological quantum field theory of non-abelian differential forms is investigated from the point of view of its possible applications to description of polynomial invariants of higher-dimensional two-component links. A path-integral…
We derive the various forms of BRST symmetry using Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky approach in the case of Abelian 2-form gauge theory. We show that the so-called dual BRST symmetry is not an independent symmetry but the generalization of BRST…
We compute the energy spectra for massless Kalb-Ramond axions in four-dimensional anisotropic string cosmological models. We show that, when integrated over directions, the four-dimensional anisotropic model leads to infra-red divergent…
We give a generalized Lagrangian density of 1+1 Dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model with subsidiary constraints, different Lagrange multiplier fields and topological term, find a lost intrinsic constraint condition, convert the…
We present a concise method to construct a BRST invariant action for the topological quantum field theories in the Batalin-Vilkovisky antifield formalism. The BV action that is a solution for the master equation is directly obtained by…
Bosonisation of the massive Thirring model, with a non-minimal and non-abelian gauging is studied in 2+1-dimensions. The static abelian model is solved completely in the large fermion mass limit and the spectrum is obtained. The non-abelian…
We focus on the continuous symmetry transformations for the three ($2 + 1$)-dimensional (3D) system of a combination of the free Abelian 1-form and 2-form gauge theories within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. We…
A new mechanism, valid for any smooth version of the Randall-Sundrum model, of getting localized massless vector field on the brane is described here. This is obtained by dimensional reduction of a five dimension massive two form, or…
A mechanism of generating the metric is proposed, where the Kalb-Ramond symmetry existing in the topological BF theory is broken through the condensation of the string fields which are so introduced as to couple with the anti-symmetric…
Several recent works on quantum criticality beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm have led to a number of field theories, potentially important for certain two-dimensional magnetic insulating systems, where criticality is not very well…
The use of light front coordinates allows a fully relativistic description of a hadron's spatial densities to be obtained. These densities must be two-dimensional and transverse to a chosen spatial direction. We explore their relationship…
In this first article of a series on alternative cosmological models we present an extended version of a cosmological model in Weyl-Cartan spacetime. The new model can be viewed as a generalization of a model developed earlier jointly with…
