We derive a dual theory of the four-dimensional anomalous U(1) gauge theory with a Wess--Zumino (WZ) term and with a St\"uckelberg type mass term by means of a duality transformation at each of the classical and quantum levels. It is shown…
Covariant forms are given to a gauge theory of massive tensor field. This is accomplished by introducing another auxiliary field of scalar type to the system composed of a symmetric tensor field and an auxiliary field of vector type. The…

Two mass generation mechanisms for gauge theories are studied. It is proved that in the abelian case the topological mass generation mechanism introduced in hep-th/9301060, hep-th/9512216 is equivalent to the mass generation mechanism…
We show that the functional bosonization procedure can be generalized in such a way that, to any field theory with a conserved Abelian charge in (2+1) dimensions, there corresponds a dual Abelian gauge field theory. The properties of this…
An Abelian gerbe is constructed over classical phase space. The 2-cocycles defining the gerbe are given by Feynman path integrals whose integrands contain the exponential of the Poincare-Cartan form. The U(1) gauge group on the gerbe has a…
We present a formalism to explicitly construct non-Abelian gauge theories on noncommutative spaces (induced via a star product with aconstant Poisson tensor) from a consistency relation. This results in an expansion of the gauge parameter,…
The familiar generating functionals in QFT fail to be true measures since the Lebesgue measure in infinite-dimensional spaces is not defined in general. The problem lies in constructing representations of topological $^*$-algebras of…
We calculate the bispectrum of scale-invariant tensor modes sourced by spectator SU(2) gauge fields during inflation in a model containing a scalar inflaton, a pseudoscalar axion and SU(2) gauge fields. A large bispectrum is generated in…

The dual Meissner effect is described and numerically observed in a gauge-invariant way in lattice Monte-Carlo simulations of pure SU(2) QCD. A gauge-invariant Abelian-like field strength is defined in terms of a unit-vector in color space…

We compute the partition function of four-dimensional abelian gauge theory on a general four-torus T4 with flat metric using Dirac quantization. In addition to an SL(4, Z) symmetry, it possesses SL(2,Z) symmetry that is electromagnetic…
The construction of field theories with space-time symmetries, including tensorial charges (i.e. of M-theory type), initiated in hep-th/9907011, is extended to include interaction. For SO(2,2) gravity in a tensorial space-time, with…

In this work we show a dualization process of a non-Abelian model with an antisymmetric tensor gauge field in a three-dimensional space-time. We have constructed a non-Abelian gauge invariant St\"{u}ckelberg-like master action, and a…
Recently, we have proposed a new front-form quantization which treated both the $x^{+}$ and the $x^{-}$ coordinates as front-form 'times.' This quantization was found to preserve parity explicitly. In this paper we extend this construction…
